Searching for an Alabama Arrest Warrant

A particular procedure is adopted for Alabama arrests. If the judge of a court of law believes that there is ‘probable cause’ for the arrest and detention of a person, an arrest warrant is issued. It is the responsibility of the law enforcement department to execute the Alabama Arrest Warrant and arrest and detain the accused. The accused is then brought to the court of law. Information about individuals under incarceration is available for public in the state of Alabama. You cannot access arrest warrant details except in cases where the particular County Sheriff’s Office issues the list of ‘wanted criminals’. Details of all individuals serving an imprisonment sentence and all registered sex offenders are available from the state criminal records.

Alabama arrest warrant information is not accessible from the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center that gives access to details of inmates in Alabama and sex offenders. For accessing particulars about ‘outstanding warrants’ in a particular county, you need to visit the County Sheriff’s Office in person and ask for the details. It is the Sheriff’s duty to execute the warrants and all information about those are available from his or her office. For example, if you want to obtain arrest warrant details in Calhoun County, you can mail at 400 West 8th Street, Anniston, AL 36201 or email your query at mwade@calcoso.org. The Calhoun County Warrant Clerk, Barbara Smith, can also be contacted at (256) 241-8040. If you want a list of all individuals against whom an outstanding warrant has been issued you can check that out at http://www.calhouncountysheriff.org/outstanding_warrants.cfm.
