If you call the police and ask them, they most likely will not tell you over the phone. They will want to verify your identity before giving out that kind of info. One way to check, besides turning yourself in, is to see if the Sheriff's Department in your county has a website. If so, they may have a listing of all people with warrants in the county. You could also fill out a criminal background check form, like you get for many jobs, and have a friend take it in to the police dept and run your criminal history. Not all depts are the same, but a warrant will appear on most reports.

while im not sure of any 'free' sites, most counties still allow you to check criminal records through the clerk of court in each county courthouse, but unless you know where they have lived or were they may have been arrested prior it makes for a difficult search. hope this helps

go to the courthouse of the city or county the arreset happened in and ask for the arrest record of who you want

I don't think anyone here can answer that for you. If you want to call the CA Dept. of Corrections, their number is (916) 323-6001.

20 years ago in CA, the procedure was to issue a bench-warrant for your arrest, with a mailed notice.  This could be cleared up with a check-in-the-mail.  No court appearance was ever necessary.\n\nUnderstand that if the cops have you in custody and a warrant check comes up positive, you'll probably be answering some additional questions in a more comfortable location.\n\nGet in touch with the court clerk in the county where you failed to appear, and ask what the procedure is.  Don't be afraid - they'll be very nice to you.

Normally the city you live in or the county has a web site where you can find out if a person is in custody. There on the web site , they will give the reason he is charged.

This might vary by state.\n\nIn California, you go to the court that issued the warrant, and ask to see the affidavit (think of it as the application for the search warrant).  It's a public record, once the warrant has been served and returned, so you should have no problems getting to see it.\n\nThe affidavit may be sealed, and if so you'll need to have an attorney file a motion to unseal it.  Good luck.

The best way to find a warrant is to call the Sheriff's office in that county...they will have a record of all warrants issued that day!

Depending on the State and County you're in.  You can check on anyone who has been arrested in Sacramento County by going to the website for the Sacramento Court and type in his name.  All cases associated with  that person will pop up. Then you can go to the court house and ask for the file. It's free. But it also means you have to figure out all the counties he's lived in and go to the courthouse to pull each case. Not all counties have the information on line. but either way, most courthouses will have the information in some form.  An arrest and charge is public information.

California does not maintain a searchable database but if you need to locate an inmate within the California Department of Corrections, please call (916) 445-6713, which is available 24 hours a day. You must have either the inmate's CDC number, or the inmate's full name and date of birth to receive information. The Inmate Locator/ID Warrants will provide an inmate's location, mailing addresses and relevant phone numbers. The Inmate Locator/ID Warrants will not provide any future release date information. Please note that for new or transferring inmates it can take up to seven business days to update location information. \n\nIf that doesn't help, go to the forum marked "Lost in the System" at http://www.prisontalk.com\nGood luck\n\nor try www.vinelink.com but I find them next to useless... I tested the system by entering the information I know to be current for four inmates in various facilities, only one hit and that person is still awaiting trial...I'm not impressed.

I would suggest that you contact either the Clerk of Court in the county you are inquiring about or contact the District Attorney for that county.\n\nI don't believe you can access information about bench warrants online at no cost.

There is a way to get free criminal information, but you are going to have to do a bit of research if you really do not want to pay for it.  Most jails have websites.  If you know the county where the person was arrested, just go to the site and look them up.  Also, try going to the court house in the county of arrest.  The have docket books with indictments and dates.  Finally, check the DA record's office.  You can get specific information pertaining to indictments, arrests and convictions.   A lot of leg work, but it's free.

I still don't get this question.  So many people ask it, and I don't get why you don't know if you have a warrant.  At least you spelled it correctly.  \n\nAnyway, the advice here so far isn't all bad.  However, calling the cops is probably not going to work for you - we don't release that over the phone, and I doubt most places do.\n\nDepending on the nature of the warrant, it may not be in "the" computer, so it's not necessarily true that you can ask any cop.  \n\nIf you're interested in getting it taken care of, you can walk into any law enforcement agency in San Bernardino County and throw yourself on their mercy.  If you have a warrant, they will know...and of course, you might well get arrested.\n\nThe "safer" option is to call any court in San Bernardino County.  Court records are almost always public documents, and if you can actually get to talk to a real person, they should be able to tell you if you have an outstanding warrant in some criminal case in that county.\n\nYou could show up at any court house in the county and ask, but there's a small chance they would call the coppers on you.  In my experience the courts don't generally do that, but you never know down there.\n\nAnd the news isn't all bad...depending on the warrant, it's quite possible you would be cited to appear at another date, rather than being booked into jail.

It's not on a website.  You have to call the local police or sheriff's department, warrants unit, to confirm a warrant.  And to do that you need the persons full name and date of birth and maybe more data if it's a very common name.
