How to Check for a Warrant in Coleraine
A Coleraine warrant check has two stops. The city police department can tell you which ticket or report started the matter. The court answers what happened after that.
- Find the citation, notice, or report number and the date printed on it.
- Search that number in Minnesota Case Records Online with Itasca County as the location.
- Call the Coleraine Police Department at 218-245-1056 to identify the originating report.
- Call Sheriff's Dispatch at 218-326-3477 for non-emergency law-enforcement routing.
- Call Coleraine City Hall at 218-245-2112 for city administrative questions.
- Call Itasca County Court Administration at 218-327-2870 for the court record and any warrant event.
Coleraine Warrant Questions and the Bovey Address
Here is the part that trips people up. Coleraine keeps its police department at 501 2nd Avenue in Bovey, while the mailing address and city identity stay in Coleraine, so confirm where you are going before you drive. Two towns, one department. The department's official page links police data-request material for anyone holding a Coleraine citation. Ask which office keeps the record you need. A police building in a neighboring city is not where a court warrant gets cleared, so the courthouse is the destination for that question.
The Coleraine Police Department and Municipal Court
Coleraine runs a police department but no municipal court. Every city ticket and ordinance matter ends up in Itasca County District Court, so the judge on a Coleraine case sits at the courthouse in Grand Rapids. The department writes citations and keeps its own reports.

Coleraine Warrant Records Requests at City Hall
Coleraine City Hall sits at 302 Roosevelt Avenue, with mail to PO Box 670, Coleraine, MN 55722. Call 218-245-2112. The office is open Monday through Thursday, 8:00 to 4:30, and closed on Fridays, so plan around that closure and call ahead before any trip. City Hall answers administrative questions about the city side of things. For county law-enforcement data, the Sheriff's Records Division takes calls at 218-327-7472. The split matters. The court file and the agency file have different keepers in Coleraine, and knowing which one you need saves a wasted stop.
Types of Coleraine Warrants
Because Coleraine has no court of its own, every warrant tied to a city case comes from the same Itasca County courtroom. What changes is the reason a judge signed it.
| Warrant Type | How It Arises | Issuing Court |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinance citation warrant | An unpaid city code or citation matter | Itasca County District Court |
| Traffic warrant | An unpaid ticket or a missed traffic date | Itasca County District Court |
| Failure-to-appear warrant | A missed hearing or court obligation | Itasca County District Court |
| Arrest warrant | A complaint supported by probable cause | Itasca County District Court |
| Search warrant | A judge's order to search, kept off the public case system | Itasca County District Court |
Note: A city citation can be payable without a court date, so ask whether the matter is still on the payment track or already in court.
Coleraine Ordinance Warrants and Chapter 8
The city's official code, including Chapter 8, lists the local violations that can bring a citation in Coleraine. Reading it tells you what the city may enforce. It does not tell you what happened to any single ticket. A citation can follow a violation, but only the case record shows whether a warrant exists today. Keeping those two questions apart saves a needless worry and a wasted call in Coleraine.
What a Coleraine Warrant Record Shows
A warrant entry looks the same on paper or on screen. The case number ties it back to the citation that started the matter. That number is your key to the Coleraine file.
| Case number | The court file, styled like 31-CR-25-0000 |
|---|---|
| Person named | The defendant on the case |
| Charge or ordinance | The offense behind the case |
| Issuing court | Itasca County District Court |
| Warrant status | Active, served, recalled, or quashed |
| Bail or conditions | Release terms set in the case |
| Service and return | What happened after the warrant was served |
Note: The case number starts with the county's 31 prefix, and that prefix is the quickest way to search the right court.
Coleraine Warrant Routing Through Sheriff Dispatch
For service, custody, or any law-enforcement question in Coleraine, the non-emergency line is county sheriff's dispatch at 218-326-3477. The department's own number handles police reports and records instead. Dispatch can route you to the right unit, but it cannot report the status of a court case. Court Administration answers that one. That is why a Coleraine reader often makes two calls, not one.
Where Coleraine Warrants Fit With Itasca County
A Coleraine citation enters the county system through the court. The city writes the ticket or takes the report. Itasca County District Court dockets the case, and the sheriff serves a warrant if a judge issues one.

Confirm a Coleraine Warrant Before You Travel
Coleraine is the one city in the county where a destination can be misunderstood, with the police building in Bovey and the city offices in Coleraine. Neither one publishes a warrant counter or a walk-in surrender schedule. The safer sequence is simple. Reach an attorney first, then call Court Administration to ask what the case requires and where a person should report. Ask about identification and payment rules. Write down any new date or order and keep it.
Verify the building and the hours by phone before driving, since City Hall closes on Fridays and the police building is in another town.
Public Access to Coleraine Warrant Records
City police records and court records follow different rules in Coleraine. The police department decides what it can release from its files. The court controls access to the case, and Minnesota law sets the limits for each.
Key Rules:
Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Chapter 13 - governs how the city and county release government data.
Minnesota Statutes 13.82 - makes many arrest-data elements public and keeps the arrest-warrant index confidential until service or custody.
Minnesota Statutes 260B.171 - restricts public access to most juvenile records.
No Coleraine Warrant Portal or City Court
Coleraine publishes a police page, a city code, and a police data-request link, and that is the full extent of its online case tools. There is no warrant search, no wanted list, and no municipal court, because the city does not run a court. So treat the county as the office that holds the answer. The courthouse in Grand Rapids keeps the case file. The sheriff handles service and custody questions across the county, including Coleraine. The jail roster shows who is in custody right now. It is not a warrant list, so a blank result there means nothing. A Coleraine warrant question still goes through the issuing court.
