Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check if there is a warrant for someone?▼
There is no free public warrant lookup. Contact the court in the county where the warrant was issued, or the local police agency. The Connecticut state judiciary public portal may show open criminal cases.
Where is Connecticut's most-wanted list?▼
The Connecticut State Police publishes a featured most-wanted list. Individual sheriffs and city police departments also keep their own lists.
What about federal warrants?▼
For federal fugitives, see the U.S. Marshals Service and FBI Wanted lists.
Are arrest records the same as warrants?▼
No. An arrest record documents that someone was taken into custody. A warrant is a court order authorizing arrest. Both are filed at the court in the issuing county.
