A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Mille Lacs County depends on where the incident happened: the Mille Lacs County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act requires of it.
