There is no single search that covers everyone in Kittson County. Match the situation to the right official locator — most families start with the first one.

If the arrest was recent

Start with the local jail

For a recent local arrest, check the arresting jurisdiction’s official jail roster or custody-notification service. Housing may be at a municipal, county, regional, or contracted facility. If no record appears, ask the arresting agency or jail how to confirm the booking; do not infer the destination from distance or a facility listing.

The current County Government source explicitly publishes this Sheriff office or Dispatch contact with its stated purpose. Ask for current agency assistance and the actual holding, release or transfer status. No booking hotline, particular receiving facility, exclusive arrest responsibility or automatic intake is established. The historical Attorney General PDF is not used as current phone evidence.

Kittson County Sheriff Office

Identify the actual arresting agency and current holding location. Ask whether the person remains in custody, was released or transferred and which agency handles follow-up. Confirm actual intake before contacting a receiving facility.

Published agency assistance; no call, individual custody, answering guarantee, exclusive arrest responsibility or automatic transfer is established. Emergencies use 911.

Kittson County Sheriff county-jail responsibility

Minnesota Statutes §387.11 documents Sheriff custody of persons lawfully committed to the County Jail. This law does not identify the actual arrest destination or municipal transfer timing; use the separate current County contact for assistance.

Minnesota Statutes §387.11 assigns the sheriff charge and custody of the county jail. Use the Sheriff office contact for current custody assistance.

If the charge is federal

Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons

A federal charge does not tell you which building holds the person. The U.S. Marshals Service is responsible for federal pretrial detention and may use local, state, private, or federal facilities. Check the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator, but a missing result does not establish that the person is not detained. For a recent federal arrest, contact the arresting agency or the relevant U.S. Marshals district office to ask about the appropriate custody-information process. USMS is a contact route, not a public person locator, and disclosure of a location is not guaranteed.

Search the Federal BOP locator U.S. Marshals district directory

City and municipal custody assistance

Use the contact matching the agency that made the arrest. These researched municipal holding and transfer paths are separate from the county routes.

Other kinds of custody

Immigration detention has a separate official ICE detainee locator. It does not search for people under 18, and a missing result does not prove release; use the official ICE field-office contacts. Search by A-number and country of birth, or the name/country/date-of-birth information requested by the service. Access and disclosure can be restricted.

Juvenile and tribal custody may have different agencies, privacy rules, and search limits. This guide does not provide a comprehensive juvenile or tribal locator. Contact the arresting agency or responsible juvenile or tribal authority to confirm the correct process.

For federal pretrial detention, use the U.S. Marshals district directory. Federal responsibility can include housing in a local jail.
