The Hennepin County Attorney's Office does its best to provide updates to the community focusing on cases that are high profile cases or have generated community interest.
High Profile Cases
Official statements regarding cases of public interest:
Community Prosecution Case Information
Community Prosecution is based on a closer working relationship between prosecutors and the local neighborhoods and communities where crime is occurring.
Their online maps provide additional information on selected felony cases involving drug and property offenses. Community members can also submit inmpact statements for a specific case or general comments about crime in your community.
Using MNCIS
If you cannot find information about a specific case, you can use the public version of Minnesota Court Information System (MNCIS),
Minnesota Trial Court Public Access Remote. This online database contains records for criminal and civil cases for all of Minnesota, including the Fourth District Court in Hennepin County. You can search by defendant name, case number, attorney or citation.
If you have questions about court records in Hennepin County, consult the
Fourth District Criminal Court's FAQs.
