Understanding Dakota County Roster Record Fields
The unique institutional identifier assigned at initial intake. This booking number is required by facility kiosks, mail handlers, and commissary vendors to route funds and letters to the detainee.
Statutory offenses recorded from the arresting officer's intake report. In accordance with constitutional due process, charges represent formal allegations; every individual is legally presumed innocent.
"In custody" denotes current physical holding in Dakota County Jail. Bond figures are set by county bond schedules or presiding judges. Blank bond amounts indicate non-bondable holds or pending magistrate hearings.

If an individual was recently arrested but does not appear in the search results above, follow these verification steps:

- Municipal Police Department Holds: Individuals arrested by local city police departments may be held temporarily at municipal holding cells before transfer to the primary county jail.
- Facility Transfer or Pretrial Release: Detainees who have posted bond, received pretrial release, or been transferred to state prison (DOC) facilities are automatically removed from active county detention rosters.
