Dakota County Released Inmates is privately owned and has no government, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections affiliation. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers consumer reports or Fair Credit Reporting Act services for credit, employment, insurance, housing, or tenant screening. The site is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency. It only helps visitors locate Dakota County and Minnesota record resources.
Nature of This Website
This is a private reference site with no connection to Dakota County, the Dakota County Sheriff's Office, the Dakota County Jail, Minnesota DOC, or another government body. It does not store official jail, release, corrections, or court records. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bail, or file a request or court document for a visitor.
The site points readers toward official Dakota County and Minnesota resources and may connect them with independent research tools. Those links and tools do not turn the site into the agency that created the underlying data.
Acceptable Use Rules

- Use content for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or another prohibited eligibility decision
- Attempt to enter an account, server, or system without authorization
- Deploy bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools
- Interfere with site operation or another visitor's access
No Consumer Reporting Services
Dakota County Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services, and neither do its advertising partners through this site. You agree not to use site information for:
- Employment, hiring, retention, discipline, or termination decisions
- Housing, lease, or tenant-screening decisions

- Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility

Links and Independent Services
The site links to Dakota County release resources, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, legal-help sources, and independent search services. Those destinations control their own content, availability, privacy practices, and terms. A link is provided for convenience and is not an endorsement. Review the destination's rules before submitting information or paying a fee.
Service Provided As Is
The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the extent the law permits, no warranty is made that:
- Information will always be accurate, complete, or current
- Access will be continuous or uninterrupted
- The site will be free of errors, defects, or security weaknesses
- An outside search provider will return complete results
Custody and public-record systems can change at any time. Nothing published here is an official statement from Dakota County, a sheriff, a jail, Minnesota DOC, a court, or another government agency. Confirm important details with the office that created the record.
Limits on Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Dakota County Released Inmates and its operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or other damages arising from access to, use of, or inability to use the site, its information, or a linked service.
Your Duty to Indemnify
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Dakota County Released Inmates and its operators from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use of the site, your violation of these terms, or your infringement of another person's rights.
Ownership of Site Materials
Unless a source is identified as belonging to someone else, the site's original text, graphics, logos, layout, and code belong to Dakota County Released Inmates or its content partners. You may not copy, republish, distribute, modify, or exploit those materials without prior written permission.
Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms at any time. A new version takes effect when it is posted on this page. Continued use after posting means you accept the revised terms.
Suspension or Loss of Access
We may restrict, suspend, or end access to all or part of the site at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.
Minnesota Law Applies
These terms are governed by Minnesota law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Minnesota. Access to government data remains subject to applicable law, including the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, rather than these private-site terms.
If One Provision Fails
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the rest remain effective. The affected provision will be adjusted only as much as necessary to make it enforceable where the law allows.
Questions About These Terms
Questions about these terms may be directed through the Contacts page. That contact route is for this private site, not for an official custody or records request.
