Active Warrant Search in Leon County, Florida

In Leon County, arrest warrants mostly become public after law enforcement agencies serve the warrant or after some time passes to prevent the suspect from fleeing or destroying evidence. However, executed warrants and arrest warrants that can not compromise an active police investigation are publicly available in line with the Florida Public Records Act.

There are two major public resources to find active warrants in Leon County:

1. The Sheriff’s Office warrant search tool
