Search Plymouth Jail Bookings
Plymouth recent bookings appear in the Hennepin County jail roster, a public tool that updates every hour and shows current inmates along with people released within the past seven days. Plymouth is unique among Hennepin County cities because it is actually home to the county's Adult Corrections Facility, where a large portion of the county's sentenced inmates are held. People arrested in Plymouth by local police are processed into the Hennepin County jail system, and their booking data is publicly available under Minnesota's Government Data Practices Act. This page explains how to find those records, what they contain, and what other tools are available for deeper searches.
Plymouth Booking Quick Facts
Plymouth Arrests and the Hennepin County Jail System
Plymouth Police make arrests within city limits and transport those individuals to the Hennepin County jail system for booking. Plymouth is notable in that it physically houses two of the county's four jail facilities: the Adult Corrections Facility for men at 1145 Shenandoah Lane and the ACF for women at 1355 Shenandoah Lane. Both are operated by the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, not the city. Pre-trial detainees may also be held at the Public Safety Facility in downtown Minneapolis at 401 South 4th Avenue.
When a Plymouth arrest results in booking, the record enters the central Hennepin County system and appears on the Hennepin County jail roster. That tool lets you search by name, custody status, arresting agency, and date range. Results show the full name, charges, bail status, facility location, and scheduled court dates. The roster covers current inmates and anyone released within the last seven days. For records going back up to 90 days, the same tool handles historical searches.
The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office oversees all four jail locations and manages the public-facing roster. Questions about a specific inmate can be directed to the jail information line. The Sheriff's site also has a separate warrant search that is worth checking if you need a fuller picture of someone's legal status.
What Plymouth Booking Records Include
Minnesota law requires that arrest and booking data be treated as public. Under § 13.82 of the Government Data Practices Act, law enforcement agencies must make certain booking information available to anyone who requests it. The Hennepin County roster is the primary way that requirement is met for Plymouth arrests. You do not need an account or a specific reason to use the search.
A typical Plymouth booking record shows the person's full name, the date and time they were booked, the charges entered at intake, bail amounts, current custody status, and which facility is holding them. Date of birth and home address are not displayed in the public roster. Those fields fall outside what the statute requires to be disclosed in this format. Charge descriptions listed at booking reflect what law enforcement submitted, not necessarily what a prosecutor will file. Cases often change after the initial booking, and charges may be amended, dropped, or upgraded once the county attorney's office reviews the file.
A booking is a record of intake, not a finding of guilt. Many people booked into the Hennepin County system from Plymouth or anywhere else are released before trial or have charges dismissed.
Plymouth Police Department and Hennepin County Jail
The Plymouth Police Department is headquartered on Plymouth Boulevard and handles law enforcement for the city. After an arrest, Plymouth officers book individuals into the Hennepin County system. For booking records and current inmate information, the Hennepin County roster is the right place to look. The Sheriff's Office manages those records, not the city police.

How to Find Plymouth Recent Bookings
Go to jailroster.hennepin.us to search the roster. You can filter by name, arresting agency, custody status, and date. If you know someone was arrested by Plymouth Police, selecting that agency in the filter narrows results quickly. Each record shows charges, bail, facility, and court date information. The tool is free and requires no login.
For a broader criminal history search across Minnesota, the BCA criminal history portal is available through the Department of Public Safety. That search costs $8 and requires both a name and date of birth. It pulls from a statewide database that goes well beyond current bookings. Court case records after formal charges are filed can be found through Minnesota Courts, which covers all district courts in the state.
To receive automatic alerts when someone's custody status changes, sign up at VINELink. This free service notifies registered contacts by phone, email, or text when an inmate is released, transferred, or has a status change. It works for facilities across Minnesota including both Plymouth-based ACF locations.
The Hennepin County jail roster is the central source for all booking data tied to Plymouth arrests, covering current inmates and recent releases across the county's four facilities including the two Adult Corrections Facility locations in Plymouth.
The Hennepin County jail roster updates every hour, so it reflects current custody status throughout the day for anyone booked from Plymouth or other cities in the county.
Retention, Booking Fees, and Expungement in Hennepin County
Booking records are kept well after release. Minnesota Statute § 138.17 sets retention schedules for government records, and Hennepin County follows those rules for jail data. The 90-day window on the public roster is a limited view. The full booking record may remain in county systems much longer, depending on the case type and outcome.
A booking fee is assessed at intake under § 641.12. This covers the cost of processing the arrest and entering the person into the jail system. It applies at booking regardless of what happens with the case later. Under § 641.08, counties can also charge for the cost of confinement in certain situations. Both statutes give county jails authority to collect these fees as part of standard operations.
If someone wants to seal a booking or arrest record from public view, the process in Minnesota is expungement under § 609A. A successful petition restricts who can access the record. Not all arrests are eligible. Whether a Plymouth-related booking can be expunged depends on the charge, the outcome, and how long ago it happened. LawHelpMN has free resources explaining the eligibility rules and how to file a petition in Hennepin County.
