Use the Official Source That Matches the Task

Online Data Request
Use the Sheriff’s records/data-request process for booking records, Sheriff reports and other Sheriff-held records.

Scott County Jail: Facility and Entrance Context
The Sheriff’s Office operates the Scott County Jail as a 264-bed facility that opened in 2005. The county says it houses sentenced and pretrial adult men and women using direct- and remote-supervision housing and may hold certain juvenile offenders for a limited period until appropriate placement is found.
Law Enforcement Center
301 Fuller Street South
Shakopee, MN 55379
Jail Administration: 952-496-8314
Sheriff’s Office: 952-496-8300
The county says the public jail entrance is the north entrance, closest to Third Avenue West and Fuller Street.
Services inside the facility
The county describes a full-service laundry and kitchen, an onsite medical unit for clinic visits and an onsite courtroom. Those facility features do not replace the public District Court record or its courthouse contact.
How to Search the Scott County Jail Roster
- Open the official county roster. Start from Scott County government instead of a commercial mugshot page, copied PDF or another state’s Scott County roster.
- Search the legal surname carefully. Try the full legal name, middle name/initial, maiden or former surname, hyphenated version, alias or suffix when appropriate.
- Compare the full entry. The roster can include a booking photo, MNI, name, sex, age, booking number, intake date and charge/status lines. Do not identify a person from one matching field.
- Save useful jail identifiers. Write down the MNI, booking number, intake date and relevant charge/status lines before moving to bail, court or records requests.
- Verify the court separately. A custody roster does not replace the court docket. Use MCRO or Scott County Court Administration for the legal case.
- Refresh before taking action. Recheck current custody before posting bail, scheduling a visit, mailing something, depositing funds or arranging a ride.
What Scott County Roster Fields Mean
| Roster field | Useful for | Do not assume |
|---|---|---|
| MNI | Matching the person to a master-name record and separating similar names. | The MNI is the court case number or Minnesota DOC identifier. |
| Name, sex and age | Secondary identity checks. | One matching attribute proves identity. |
| Booking number | Identifying a specific Scott County jail intake. | The number remains the identifier after transfer to another correctional system. |
| Intake date | Showing when the jail recorded the displayed booking. | It is the exact arrest time, court time or release date. |
| Charge / status line | Understanding the custody reason, court/pending status, sentence status, bond status or another-agency hold when displayed. | The booking wording is a conviction or final court disposition. |
| Bail / bond | Starting a release inquiry when a bail amount/status is shown. | Payment clears every case, warrant or outside hold. |
| Photograph | Supporting an identity comparison. | An old or copied image proves present custody. |
No Name on the Roster? Use This Troubleshooting Path
No result does not prove release. The person can be processing, at court, receiving medical care, transferred, held by another agency or listed under another identity variation.
Scott County Bail, Bond and Scam Protection
Scott County says bail may be accepted at the jail lobby or online through Access Corrections. The county lists cash or credit card as accepted forms, and when online bail is available a Pay Bond option appears through the provider. Licensed Minnesota bail bondsmen can deliver bonds at the jail lobby.
Before paying
- Call 952-496-8314 with the person’s full name and date of birth.
- Confirm the current bail amount and every case or hold.
- Ask whether the person is actually release-eligible after payment.
- Confirm whether the lobby or online route is appropriate.
- Review card/provider fees before submitting payment.
- Keep the receipt and transaction confirmation.
- Do not arrange pickup until release processing is confirmed.
Scott County’s scam warning
The Sheriff warns that scammers target relatives and friends of people who are in custody or recently released. The Sheriff’s Office says it will never call demanding payment.
If an unexpected caller demands money, hang up and independently call Jail Administration at the published number.
Scott County District Court and MCRO: Check the Legal Case Separately
Scott County District Court
Scott County Justice Center
200 Fourth Avenue West
Government Center – JC115
Shakopee, MN 55379-1220
Phone: 952-496-8200
Fax: 952-496-8211
The court is part of Minnesota’s First Judicial District and has original jurisdiction over civil, family, probate, juvenile, criminal and traffic cases filed in Scott County.
Important MCRO limitation
Minnesota Court Records Online says a pending criminal matter will not return when searching by the defendant’s name. For a pending case, use the case number, citation number, attorney name or attorney bar number when available.
MCRO name searches are exact. The system provides wildcard and “Sounds Like” options to broaden appropriate searches.
MCRO is not a background-check service and does not contain every record available at courthouse public-access terminals. For certified documents or a case you cannot locate online, contact Scott County Court Administration.
Warrant Status Is Not the Same as Jail Custody
The Sheriff’s Jail Division includes the Scott County Warrants Unit. For information about Scott County warrants, the county directs users to call 952-496-8314. For a warrant issued elsewhere in Minnesota, obtain information from the jurisdiction that issued it.
A warrant can exist without current incarceration. Likewise, someone in the Scott County Jail can be held for a sentence, a pending charge or another agency rather than a Scott County warrant.

The incarcerated person is responsible for requesting that approval. Children may not be left unattended in the lobby.

Family and friends may bring medication to the main jail lobby only when it is a valid, non-expired prescription in the original container. Do not place prescription medication in inmate mail.
Medical privacy
The jail provides onsite registered nurses and licensed medical, dental and mental-health services. Because of health-information privacy rules, medical details are not released by phone. The incarcerated person must sign a release before information can be provided in writing.

Report-day rules
Scott County says the person must report at the scheduled date/time, provide a urine sample and breath test, complete booking and bring valid ID. Reporting under the influence of alcohol or drugs can delay Community Release privileges and may affect good time. The county also advises leaving unnecessary valuables and property at home.
Scott County Jail Fees Listed for 2026

Booking Records, Sheriff Reports and Court Copies Use Different Request Routes
| Record needed | Best source | Useful detail |

| Jail booking record | Sheriff online Data Request Portal | Identify the person, approximate booking date and booking number when known. |
| Sheriff incident report | Sheriff Records | Criminal incident reports may be unavailable for up to five days depending on status and requester involvement. |
| Accident report | Sheriff Records | Reports may be unavailable for up to ten days and access can be limited to involved parties/legal representatives. |
| Public court case | MCRO | Pending criminal name searches have limitations; use case/citation/attorney identifiers when available. |

Minnesota DOC
Use Minnesota DOC when the person may have entered state correctional custody or remains under DOC jurisdiction.

The county says its records-management system sends county-jail information to VINE every 15 minutes. Users can register anonymously for supported phone, email or text notifications.
Registration phone: 877-664-8463.
Federal BOP
Use the BOP locator when federal prison custody is involved. A newly detained federal defendant may be housed outside BOP before designation, so the federal court or U.S. Marshals path may also matter.
Scott County cautions users not to depend solely on VINE for personal safety. Treat notifications as one source and verify urgent release/custody changes through the responsible agency.
