Pursuant to the criminal laws of the KS, an arrest warrant search in Russell County is the right of all citizens. This means that you could inquire about the active warrants and arrest records in the name of a new acquaintance just as much as a major corporation seeking a criminal history report on a potential employee.

To access information on Russell County arrests and active warrants, you will need to get in touch with one of the agencies listed below:

  • The police: 210 E 4th St, Russell, Kansas 67665
  • The judiciary: 401 N Main St, Russell, KS 67665
  • The clerk of court: As above

All three state departments are not just involved in some way with the process of issuing arrest warrants in Russell County, but also they have similar protocols on the procedure followed for the dissemination of information about criminal history. The sheriff’s office in your area will be able to furnish details on arrests as well as outstanding warrants.

Similarly, the magistrate’s office will be able to tell you about bench and active warrants, summons, and subpoenas. As far as the county clerk’s office goes, this agency can handle inquiries about arrest records, outstanding warrants, and civil litigations. They manage the repository of court dockets, essentially collecting facts from all cases heard by the local tribunals.

To conduct an arrest warrant search through the agencies listed above, you will need to visit their office in person, send in your attorney for the inquiry or write to the concerned department. Except for the clerk of the court’s office, which only charges for printed reports, the other two agencies do levy a small fee on such inquiries.
