About Criminal Court

The 4th District Criminal Division handles cases in two locations in downtown Minneapolis, and in three suburban locations (Brooklyn Center, Edina, and Minnetonka). The Criminal Division includes Problem-Solving and Specialty Courts focused on one case type such as DWI, Drugs, Domestic Violence and Community-related offenses.

Downtown Minneapolis Court Locations

---

The two downtown court locations handle all felony charges issued in Hennepin County. They also handle all misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor criminal and traffic charges issued in the City of Minneapolis, City of St. Anthony, and Hennepin County Parks.

Suburban Court Locations

---

The three suburban courts are responsible for processing all non-felony traffic and criminal cases for the cities in their jurisdictions. They also process all traffic violation tickets, respond to public questions on criminal matters, and provide a hearing officer who conducts hearings on traffic and petty misdemeanor matters. Other types of cases, such as civil, family law, small claims, etc., are not filed in the suburban courts, but are handled in other Court Divisions.
