How to Check for a Warrant in Currie
With no police department of its own, Currie sends most warrant questions up to the county. The city office keeps only municipal paper. A court file lives with Murray County District Court in Slayton, and a citation number is the quickest way into that record.
- Call the Sheriff's Office at 507-836-6168 and ask which agency handled the Currie matter.
- Ask for the citation or incident number written on the call or the ticket.
- Search the public case record by citation number, then by case number, with Murray selected.
- Call Murray County Court Administration at (507) 873-7001 and ask what the case events show.
- Talk to an attorney before any court appearance, since a visit can end in custody.
Note: A Currie warrant question starts with the sheriff or the court, since a city clerk cannot read a court warrant file.
Currie's Municipal Office and Warrant Questions
Currie's city hall handles the town's everyday paperwork. The municipal office sits at 801 3rd Street, and the published phone number is 507-763-1540. Hours are limited. Monday runs 1:00 to 6:00 p.m., and Tuesday through Thursday 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. City Clerk and Treasurer Annette Seivert is the contact named in the new-resident packet. Ordinances, utilities, permits, and city minutes all land on that desk. A court warrant file does not. Nobody there can recall a warrant, and the office keeps no criminal docket. The City of Currie website posts the address, the phone, and the clerk contact for municipal records.
The Currie page maps who does what. Note: treat the office as a records desk, not a warrant counter or a bond window.
The Currie Police Department and Municipal Court
Currie itself posts no police page and no municipal court page. The county hazard plan fills the gap. It says the Sheriff contracts police service to Currie. A deputy who answers a call in town therefore works for the county, not the city of Currie.

Currie's Contracted Sheriff Service and Warrants
With no city force of its own, a Currie citation usually goes to a Murray County deputy rather than a city officer. The enforcement record follows the county system. So does any request for law-enforcement data. There is no city police front desk to visit. A resident with a warrant question starts at the Sheriff's Office, 2558 29th Street, then follows the case into court. None of this adds up to a public warrant list. No roster covers Currie or the rest of the county.
Types of Currie Warrants
A Currie warrant can be any type the district court issues. The docket sits with the county, not the city.
| Warrant Type | How It Arises in Currie | Where It Lives |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic warrant | An unpaid citation written by a contracted deputy | District court file |
| Bench warrant | A missed appearance on a Currie case | District court file |
| Arrest warrant | Probable cause from a sheriff investigation | District court file |
| Sign-and-release notice | A summons returned as undeliverable | Court notice, not an arrest order |
The court settles the type, and the Sheriff serves the order.
Currie Ordinance Records Are Not Warrant Rosters
Currie keeps its ordinance books and council minutes at the municipal office, where residents can review them, according to the Currie new-resident packet. That is a genuine records route, but it is not a warrant index.
| Record | What It Holds | What It Cannot Show |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinance books | Local rules adopted by the council | Whether a court warrant is active |
| Council minutes | Notes and votes from city meetings | Case status or hearing dates |
| District court file | Charges, appearances, orders, recalls | City utilities or permits |
Anyone holding a Currie document should ask what sort of paper it is. An ordinance notice, a citation, and a court complaint each lead somewhere different. Note: An ordinance or a minute entry never reveals whether a court warrant is active.
What a Currie Warrant Record Shows
A Currie case file looks the same in the court view as any other Murray County matter on the docket.
| Citation number | The number from the ticket or the incident report. |
|---|---|
| Court file number | The district-court identifier, in the pattern 51-CR-26-0000. |
| Originating agency | The sheriff deputy or other agency that handled the call. |
| Case events | A scheduled date, a missed date, an order, or a recall. |
| Service and custody | What the Sheriff can disclose about service or booking. |
Ask which office keeps the record before requesting a copy.
Currie Warrant Search in MCRO
Minnesota Court Records Online is the public case search for district courts, and Currie matters show up there alongside the rest of Murray County. Murray appears in the court-location list, so a citation number, a case number, or a full name with a date of birth can each start a lookup. Name searches have real limits. A pending criminal or traffic case with no conviction may not return by name even though the file exists, while the case number still finds it. Treat a no-result as no clearance. Call Court Administration at (507) 873-7001 and ask what the file actually shows. Note: Begin with the number printed on the ticket, because a case number finds files a name search can miss.
Where Currie Warrants Fit With Murray County
Currie runs on contracted services. Its police work goes through the county agency, and its court work goes through the county court, so a citation written in town becomes a Murray County case once it is filed. For the full county picture, including the custody route and the access rules, see the Murray County warrant records home page.
No Currie Municipal Warrant Portal Was Located
Neither the city site nor the county materials offer a Currie warrant lookup, a roster, or a municipal warrant form. There are two reasons for that. Minnesota feeds warrant data to the criminal-justice network under Minn. Stat. ยง 299C.115 instead of to a public page, and the state case search is a case and document layer rather than an all-warrants search. A quiet result proves nothing on its own. Note: Do not read a quiet search result as proof that no Murray County warrant exists.
Public Access to Currie Warrant Records
A Currie warrant case brings together two kinds of record, and each follows its own access rule.
Key Rules:
City records follow the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act.
Court records follow the judicial branch public access rules.
An unserved warrant can stay confidential in the sheriff's index.
Inspection in Currie is free at reasonable times and places, and copies may carry the actual cost of reproduction.
Currie Warrant Questions and Office Hours
County offices open weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and counter payments stop early on the last working day of the month. Currie keeps even shorter hours. Call ahead before making the trip. A quick phone check confirms the record and tells you whether the city office or the court handles your question.
Call the Sheriff or Court Administration before traveling or appearing, since an in-person visit can end in custody.
