An arrest warrant search from Smith County, KS, is rightly considered the first step towards procuring a subject’s criminal background report. Contrary to what its name suggests, this inquiry does not exclusively pertain to active warrants. Of course, you will be told about any outstanding warrants against the person, who is being investigated, that remain to be served.

However, along with this, you will also get additional crime-related information such as Smith County arrest records, a most-wanted list, court dockets about criminal trials, verdict delivered in such matters and sentencing, etc. In fact, if the subject is currently serving time, you could also find out about the facility where he/she is being held.

To seek details on Smith County arrests warrants, you can go to the office of the county clerk, the magistrate, or the sheriff. Through these agencies, including the judicial entities, you can also find out about instances of arrests, although it is the police who actually detain the defendant.

Information on arrests made with Smith County active warrants is sent to the judiciary by returning the detention directive to the court. If arrests are made without warrants, the bench is apprised of this when the police take the defendant to court for a preliminary hearing. So, for your warrant search, you can approach:
