Official Record Contacts

This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, arrange release or bond, or pull official booking records. Contact the responsible public office directly for those services.


Where to Direct a Request

Start with the official custodian that matches the question. Norman County Sheriff’s Office is at 15 Second Avenue East, Ada, MN 56510, and can be reached at 218-784-7114. For written Sheriff’s Office data-practices requests, Sheriff Ben Fall is the departmental designee at sheriff@co.norman.mn.us. The County Data Practices Officer is Elizabeth Brainard, Norman County Attorney, 16 Third Avenue East, Suite 101B, Ada, MN 56510, 218-784-5456, liz.brainard@co.norman.mn.us. Courthouse hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Northwest Regional Corrections Center is at 816 Marin Avenue, Suite 110, Crookston, MN 56716. Its main line is 218-470-8100, and the research lists 24/7 sergeant lines at 218-470-8149 and 218-470-8150. Those numbers do not guarantee disclosure of nonpublic data, so a formal record request should go to the agency that maintains it.
