Due to the continued health concerns raised by the COVID-19 virus outbreak, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office lobby is closed to the public. This includes both the Crookston and Fosston sub-station offices.
All civil process, gun permits, data requests, and administrative activity will be initiated by calling 218-281-0431 or emailing PCSORecords@co.polk.mn.us. Please see our webpage for application information. Our response time may be delayed due to current events and our ability to retrieve information held by other agencies. We are committed to getting information back to you as timely as possible while keeping our employees and the community safe.
Please note that 911 emergency services will not change. The public should continue to call 911 for all emergencies with confidence that law enforcement, fire and emergency medical responders will respond. Our 911 operators may ask you additional questions due to the recommended protocols implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
All non-emergency calls should be directed to 218-281-0431.
We value our relationship with residents of Polk County, and we understand the need to stay connected to our community. Due to the unprecedented circumstances surrounding COVID-19, we ask your patience as this situation evolves. We ask that everyone follow the most current information set by the CDC and Minnesota Department of Health.
Please take care of each other and be safe.
