Helpful Information about Criminal Charges in Brooklyn Park
Brooklyn Park is a large suburb of Minneapolis in Northern Hennepin County. Because Brooklyn Park is a large suburb near a large metropolitan area, there are a high volume of cases involving a wide range of criminal charges generated each year. Due to this high volume of charges of varying type and severity, the Hennepin County court system has devised a system to spread out where the criminal cases are heard. That system is summarized below.
Where do I go to court for Brooklyn Park criminal charges?
Pretrial matters for Petty Misdemeanors, Misdemeanors, and Gross Misdemeanors are typically heard at the Brookdale Regional Service Center in Brooklyn Center, with only a few exceptions.
Trials for misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor offenses are held at the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis. Trials for petty misdemeanor offenses are typically held at Brookdale.

How do I know where to go to Court for Brooklyn Park charges?
You can use the information above as a starting point, but be sure to always rely up the notice of hearing for your case or information obtained directly from court administration. The notice of hearing will specify the date, time, location, and type of court appearance that has been scheduled. If you have lost your notice of hearing, or you are looking for information about a friend or family member’s court appearance, you can call the criminal division at Hennepin County court administration to confirm those details.
Who is the prosecutor for Brooklyn Park criminal charges?
The City of Brooklyn Park contracts with a private law firm for petty misdemeanors, misdemeanors, and most gross misdemeanor offenses. Because those contracts can change from year-to-year, it is best for you to contact court administration if you are looking for a way to identify the prosecutor for your case.
The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office prosecutes all state level felony offenses that occur in Brooklyn Park, and some misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor offenses. Additionally, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office prosecutes any non-felony offenses that occurred in conjunction with felony offenses.
