This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm present custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the agency that holds the record for those matters.
Official Wadena Contacts
The Sheriff’s Office is the proper first contact for its jail custody information and Sheriff-held booking records. A city police report remains with the originating city department, and a court question belongs with court administration.

Which Official Source to Use
Choose the source by the kind of record and the person’s custody status. Calling the correct office avoids treating a live roster, a police report, and a court case as the same record.
- Use the county booking and records path for the official current-custody report, a jail booking photo, VINE, and Sheriff records requests.
- Use Most Wanted Fugitives for the official active-warrant report and safe verification routes.
- Contact Wadena, Menahga, or Sebeka police for an incident report created by that city department.
- Use Minnesota Court Records Online or court administration for a case and disposition.
- Use the Minnesota DOC public viewer for sentenced state custody, not a fresh county booking.
- Use the BOP or ICE locator only for the corresponding federal or immigration custody system.
