Brooklyn Park Data Practices
The city of Brooklyn Park publishes a data practices page that covers how the city handles government data. Under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (Chapter 13), all government data is presumed public unless a law says otherwise. You have the right to inspect data for free. Copies may cost a fee.

Expungement forms are available online. If you need to clear old booking records from your history, the process goes through the Hennepin County Government Center or a local courthouse.
