Pine County Jail Mugshots Online
Pine County publishes an hourly jail roster PDF, but official snippets and available text showed names, demographics, charges, bond or bail, held-for agency, and arresting agency rather than booking photos. No official Pine County mugshot gallery, recent booking photo gallery, or separate sheriff mugshot page was located in county sources. The accurate Pine County answer is narrow: use the roster for current custody records, but do not promise that mugshots are posted online.
The roster is still useful before asking for a photo. It can identify the full name, arrest date, charge text, statute number, held-for agency, and any visible roster or booking number. Those details help the Sheriff's Records Unit locate the correct arrest or booking record. A photo request without those facts is more likely to be delayed, especially if the person has a common name or multiple recent cases.
No official sheriff app was found for Pine County mugshot lookup, roster lookup, warrant search, or records requests. Pine County links Everbridge Notifications from the county site, but the research did not locate an app-based booking-photo feature. That means the documented local channels remain the roster PDF, jail information line, in-person campus, and Sheriff's Records Unit.
Request Pine County Booking Photos
Because the official Pine County roster did not show booking photos in the researched snippets, the best route is a records request through the sheriff when a booking photograph is needed. Start with the roster only to confirm that a booking or arrest entry exists. Then ask for the booking photograph and related booking or arrest record through the records unit.
- Open the Pine County Jail roster page and check the current PDF for the person.
- Record the full name, arrest date, charges, held-for agency, and any number shown in the PDF.
- Call jail information at 320-629-8400 if custody status or identity is unclear.
- Contact the Pine County Sheriff's Records Unit for a booking-photo or arrest-record request.
- Use the Sheriff's Records Forms page when a written request form is needed.
The Pine County Sheriff's Records Unit page provides the official records contact used when a booking photo is not posted on the roster.
The records unit is the safer source for booking-photo access than an unofficial photo reposting site.
Pine County Roster Photo Field
The roster sample-record inventory is important because it shows what Pine County makes easy to see and what it does not. The researched snippets showed the core booking and charge fields, but no booking photo field appeared. That does not mean every booking photo is nonpublic. It means the official online roster reviewed for this build should be treated as a text custody list, not a public mugshot gallery.
| Roster Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking photo | Not located in official Pine County roster PDF snippets. |
| Name | The person listed in current custody or roster reporting. |
| Number | Some snippets show numeric identifiers, but format is not explained. |
| Race, gender, age | Basic demographics, not full date of birth. |
| Arrest date | Date tied to the arrest or booking event. |
| Held for | Agency or custody authority, such as Pine County, MN DOC, tribal police, or another county. |
| Charges | Minnesota statute number and charge description. |
| Bond or bail | Amount when set, with blanks or holds possible. |
Pine County Mugshot Law
Minnesota law generally makes booking photographs public, but it also allows limits. Minn. Stat. 13.82, subd. 26 defines a booking photograph and treats it as public data unless law enforcement temporarily withholds it because release would harm an active investigation. Minn. Stat. 13.85 covers corrections and detention data, and it protects information when release would disclose medical, psychological, financial, unrelated personal information, endanger a life, harm an investigation, identify informants, or threaten jail security.
Key Statutes:
Minn. Stat. 13.82 - law enforcement arrest data and booking photographs are generally public, with active-investigation limits.
Minn. Stat. 13.85 - detention data can be withheld or limited for privacy, safety, investigation, or institutional security reasons.
That combined rule fits Pine County's source pattern. A booking photo may be public under Minnesota law, but the county did not publish a photo gallery in the official roster material reviewed. A request can still be made, and the sheriff may release, withhold, or redact records based on the statute and the facts of the case.
Pine County Mugshot Limits
Do not treat the absence of a photo on the roster as proof that no booking occurred. The Pine County roster is current-custody oriented and uses a PDF format. Released-retention duration was not located in official sources. The research also found no county policy promising that a booking photo appears for every listed person, remains online for a set number of days, or is removed on a fixed schedule after release.
What is and isn't public: Pine County's official roster shows custody and charge fields, but the researched PDF snippets did not show photos. Minnesota booking photos are generally public, yet active investigations, safety, security, private detention data, and court orders can restrict release.
Pine County Photo Request Form
The Sheriff's Records Unit is at 635 Northridge Drive NW, Suite 100, Pine City, MN 55063. The listed phone is 320-629-8380, fax is 320-629-8392, and email is Records@pinecountymn.gov. The public records page links to records forms, including a Records Request Form. The research did not locate a detailed fee table or turnaround time, so those details should be confirmed with the records unit before submitting a request.
A strong request should ask for the booking photograph and booking or arrest record, then identify the person by full name, arrest date, and any number visible in the roster PDF. If the case is active, expect possible delay, partial release, or withholding under Minnesota law. If the record is connected to court filings, MCRO or court administration may be needed for the case documents.
Use the same record details when asking by phone, email, fax, or form. Pine County's public pages do not publish a special mugshot request fee, and they do not state that photo requests are handled faster than other sheriff records. Keep the request narrow, factual, and tied to the official booking event.
The Pine County sheriff records forms page is the documented starting point for the written records form.
The form page supports the request route when the official roster does not show a Pine County jail mugshot.
Pine County Mugshot Removal
Minnesota expungement grounds are listed in Minn. Stat. 609A.02. Expungement is a court sealing process for eligible records. It is not the same as a promise that a jail will automatically remove every historical image, or that outside copies will disappear. The research found no Pine County policy promising mugshot removal after dismissal, acquittal, or expungement.
For a dismissed or sealed case, begin with the court record and any expungement order. The court side is separate from the jail roster, and the process is better understood through Pine County court records after a jail arrest. Avoid unofficial photo reposting sites and paid removal offers. They are not official custody records, not the sheriff, and not a reliable source for legal status.
State and Federal Photos
The Pine County roster should not be used for all inmates in the county. Minnesota Correctional Facility - Willow River is a state DOC facility, and sentenced DOC offenders are searched through the MNDOC Offender Locator. FCI Sandstone is a federal Bureau of Prisons facility, and federal inmates are searched through the BOP Inmate Locator. ICE custody uses ICE ODLS.
Federal systems should not be described as public mugshot sources. The BOP locator shows identifying and custody fields such as name, register number, age, race, sex, release date, and location. ICE ODLS is a detainee locator, not a photo gallery. If the question is a Pine County booking photo, use sheriff records. If the question is state, federal, or immigration custody, use the correct locator first.
