Ramsey Police Department’s COVID-19 Response

To aid in slowing the spread of the COVID-19, we have closed our lobby to the public. We understand the inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience during this time. Below are some ways you can get in contact with members of the Ramsey Police Department:

In case of Emergency: Dial 911 

Non-emergency dispatch (to reach an officer): 763-427-1212, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

To limit potential exposure to you and our staff, if possible, we will take reports by phone. We will still respond to in-progress calls and other calls as needed. 

Records/Administrative Staff: 763-427-6812, Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.  

Due to the Governor’s Stay at Home request, all phone calls to the Police Department and City Hall will go to voicemail. This will go in effect starting 2/27/2020 at 4:30 pm and last for two weeks. Please leave a detailed message and we will return it as soon as possible. You can also contact our records staff via email .

To request a copy of a report or if you need information you can contact the records staff via phone 763-427-6812, email,  or online.

To apply for a Permit to Purchase/Transfer a Firearm, please print a copy of the application and then contact our Records/Administrative Staff  at 763-427-6812 for further instructions.

To turn in any miscellaneous paperwork, please utilize the City of Ramsey drop box in the parking lot south of the building and indicate on the envelope/paperwork ATTN: Ramsey Police Department. Please make sure to use the City’s drop box and NOT the Anoka County Library box. 

Thank you for your understanding during this time, we remain committed to serving the citizens and community while reducing the risk of spreading the COVID-19.
