CONCERNED PARENTS

Contact the BCA in Minnesota. They will be able to answer your questions:
Minnesota Department of Public Safety
Bureau of Criminal Apprehension
CJIS Section
1430 Maryland Ave. E.
St. Paul, MN 55106
651-793-2420

I would not suggest getting a record from an online site. Most of the data is not completely updated. They also charge you for free information.
