This is a private reference site, not a Clearwater County or Minnesota government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the agency that holds the record for those services.
Clearwater Records Contacts
The correct contact depends on the record. The Sheriff and jail handle county custody and operational questions. The county data custodian receives the public-information form, while probation, the District Court, and Minnesota Department of Corrections maintain different records.
