Criminal Cases in the Ramsey County District Court
In Minnesota the public criminal record is the court file. Criminal cases from Maplewood are heard by the Ramsey County District Court, which hears every civil, criminal, family, probate and juvenile case, and the file of each case is kept by the court administrator.

The Minnesota Criminal History and Your Own Copy
Minnesota is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: the public criminal history search online is free and shows 15 years of convictions, through the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. The result is the repository record, what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
To see your own record, the route is a request to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. The state page SearchSystems verified for it is at dps.mn.gov/divisions/bca/bca-divisions/criminal-justice-information....
Arrest Records Kept Locally in Maplewood
The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Maplewood (filed by the FBI as Maplewood Police Department) keep the arrest records in and around Maplewood: the report and the booking record of each arrest stay with the agency that made it, separate from the court file and from the state repository.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Ramsey County: the State Patrol at Oakdale (state police); the Capitol Security, St. Paul and the Minnesota State Fair Police (state agency); each keeps the records of its own arrests.
The Spring Lake Park Police Department and the St. Anthony Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Ramsey County, so their arrests are not broken out for Ramsey County here.
Together, the eight agencies in Ramsey County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 9,915 arrests to the FBI that year; how each case ended is in the court file, not in the arresting agency's.
The agencies and their counts, year by year, are in Maplewood arrest records.

The agency that reports for Maplewood had 150 violent and 1,023 property crimes reported for 2025; each one is a report on file with it, and each arrest that follows is the start of a criminal record.
