In Jefferson County, an arrest warrant search will bring back details not just on the issue of legal directives for detention but also on arrest records and more. It is all about approaching the right KS agency for the job, and you could walk away with a veritable treasure trove of information about your subject. In fact, no data will be held back, including civil court dockets.

Among the three agencies at the county level that entertain requests for information about active warrants are the offices of the county clerk, the magistrate, and the police. Now, depending on what you need to know, you can pick a department of your choice. Of course, it is also possible to seek details on arrests and warrants through private establishments, but that is another story.

A popular option for all crime history-related inquiries is the department of the sheriff, and understandably so. The police petition the court for warrants; they also make arrests under the provisions of these directives and process the offenders while they are waiting in line for the bail hearing.

So, if you are exclusively looking for details on Jefferson County arrest records and outstanding warrants, there is no other better place to go to. On the other hand, if you want to conduct a more in-depth inquiry, it would serve you well to approach the magistrate’s court or, to that matter the office of the county clerk that keeps the court dockets database. These agencies work out of:

  • Law enforcement agency: 1360 Walnut, Oskaloosa, Kansas 66066
  • The county magistrate: 300 Jefferson Street, Oskaloosa, KS 66066
  • The clerk of court: PO Box 352, Oskaloosa, Kansas 66066
