Edina Overview
Edina 72 Hour Booking Process
Edina does not run a city jail. Arrests in Edina result in transport to the Hennepin County Jail at 401 South 4th Avenue in Minneapolis. That is where every 72 hour booking from Edina gets processed. County staff handle fingerprinting, photographs, and entering charges into the booking system. All Hennepin County cities use this same facility.
Under Minnesota Statute 641.05, the county jail must keep a register for each person booked. This register shows the inmate's name, reason for commitment, and the dates they came in and were released. A judge must see the arrested person within 36 hours of booking, not counting weekends. The 72 hour booking record that comes out of this process is part of the public record and can be searched through county tools.
