Brooklyn Park Overview
How Brooklyn Park 24 Hour Booking Works
The Brooklyn Park Police Department is the main law enforcement agency for the city. Officers respond to calls and make arrests throughout Brooklyn Park. The police station is at 5400 85th Ave N, Brooklyn Park, MN 55443. After an arrest, the person is transported to the Hennepin County Adult Detention Center for full booking.
At the county jail, staff take fingerprints and a booking photo. They check for outstanding warrants and enter the person's data into the system. Minnesota Statute 299C.10 requires the fingerprints to be sent to the BCA within 24 hours. This is the rule behind 24 hour booking in Minnesota. It covers felonies, gross misdemeanors, and targeted misdemeanors. Brooklyn Park follows this process for every arrest that goes to the county jail.
The Hennepin County Sheriff also checks each new booking against the predatory offender registry per Statute 641.05. If there is a match, the sheriff reports it to the BCA. At the time of release, the sheriff collects a change of address form from the person. This is a required step under the same law. Failing to do these checks is a gross misdemeanor for the sheriff.
