Where to Start for Pope County Custody Questions
Pope County does not publish a county-run inmate roster in the official sources reviewed. Current Pope County arrestees may appear on the Douglas County Jail inmate roster when they are housed in Alexandria, while Pope County Sheriff's Office remains the local law-enforcement and records contact in Glenwood.
Pope County Sheriff's Office
130 E. Minnesota Avenue, Glenwood, MN 56334
Phone: (320) 634-5411
Fax: (320) 634-5457
Office hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
Dispatch: open every day, all hours
Non-emergency courthouse line during regular business hours: (320) 634-7700

Use the Pope County Sheriff's Office for arrest, transport, warrant, dispatch, and local records questions. For public-data requests, Pope County's Data Practices Policy says public government data may be inspected free of charge and copied subject to allowed costs under Minnesota law.
Douglas County Jail
509 3rd Avenue West, Alexandria, MN 56308
Jail phone: (320) 762-2139
Official jail page: Douglas County Jail
Call Douglas County Jail if the person appears on the Douglas roster with Pope County listed as the arresting agency, or if you need current custody, booking, bond, visitation, mail, phone, money, or release information for someone housed there. The Douglas booking materials say new arrest information may not be releasable until booking is complete, which can take several hours.
Pope County District Court
Use Pope County District Court for filed criminal cases, hearing calendars, case numbers, and official court-file questions. Court administration phone: (320) 424-7170. The court is part of Minnesota's Eighth Judicial District, and the daily calendar is posted each business day with updates through the day. Court staff cannot give legal advice.
Pope County Attorney
605 S. Lakeshore Dr., Glenwood, MN 56334
Phone: (320) 634-4581
Current County Attorney: Neil Nelson
Official page: Pope County Attorney
The County Attorney handles state and local prosecution decisions for Pope County. Arrest wording on a roster can differ from charges later filed in district court, so use the court record for formal case status.
Use these topic routes when you are not sure which office to contact:
- For a person in local custody, start with jail inmate records and the Douglas County Jail phone number.
- For booking-photo access and limits, use jail roster mugshots and the agency that created the booking record.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, MCRO, and Pope County District Court.
- For a specific custody location, use the facility pages in the footer.
- For a sentenced Minnesota prisoner, use the Minnesota Department of Corrections public locator.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
