Local Records Site for your County Court or Sheriff's Department

This method is direct, and a lot of people prefer to go about their search this way. You don’t have to talk to anyone, you just search through their records of public information. This can be spotty depending on where you’re looking. If you’re looking in a larger county these databases are usually well maintained with up-to-date, accurate information. On the other hand, if you’re looking at a smaller county this information may either be out of date or they may not even have these kinds of resources available online.

Using this method also may not paint the full picture for you. In many cases, things like domestic violence may not be kept on the public record even in larger counties. This method also requires you to know what county/counties you’re looking for, and if you’re checking into someone else this may not be the most efficient route.

Using an Online Service to find Active Warrants

If you’re looking into someone else’s active warrants, this may be your best bet. Online services such as SpyFly cast a large net and pull in all publicly available information instantly so you can have information in places that you may not have thought to look into. SpyFly, in particular, strives to provide the most accurate, up to date information available. When using services like SpyFly, you don’t need to know what county, state, or federal district you should be looking into. That’s what gives this approach the edge when you need to find as much information as you can as quickly as you can.

Call the County Police Station

This one isn’t the best approach if you aren’t looking to be questioned, but it is still a viable option regardless. If you call the police station and simply ask if this person has any active warrants, they would have access to that information. They may find you a little suspicious and you may need to answer some of their questions before they relinquish this information, but as a last resort, this is still a viable option.

Finding Active Warrants can be Important

Your safety is important, as is the safety of your family. If you’re trying to see if you have an active warrant for something for yourself, you could also look into hiring an attorney as they have access to databases the general public doesn’t have access to. If you’re looking into someone else, using an online service such as SpyFly is more than likely your best chance. With all the information these types of services are able to pull in instantaneously, it can easily save you a lot of time and hassle to take this route rather than trudging through various court and sheriff department databases trying to locate the information you need to ensure whoever it is in your life is really who they say they are.
