Step 2 Get Information Regarding An Outstanding Warrant
Once you have the information you need in order to get started, the hunt for more information can begin. Since the warrant was granted by a judge, in most cases this is public information. When you know where the warrant was set into action you can contact that court and get the information you are looking for. There are various ways to contact the courthouse.
- Website
- Phone Call
- Visit in Person
-Website
When you find the website of the county or the area of the courthouse use your sleuth skills to navigate the website until you find a searchable area that will allow you to search for public records. Yolo County in California has one. With a little bit of work, you can make your way into a place that will give you access to the online public records portal.
-Phone Call
It may be a lot quicker to make a phone call. If you do choose to go this route make sure you have all of the facts straight about the suspect who could or could not have an outstanding warrant. The courthouse will need to have the full name and birthdate of the person of interest. You might even need to have the social security number of the person. Most likely they will not divulge that information over the phone, but it is worth a try.
-Visit In Person
One of the fastest, and for sure methods to find out if there is an outstanding warrant is to go to the police station and ask. If you are seeking information on somebody other than yourself, the police might be reluctant to give you that information. However, if the warrant is for you it will only be a matter of seconds until you know for sure that you have one. Good luck. If these options are a bit much for you, the next step is the best way.
