St. Joseph County warrants, IN – Inquiring about a Person's Criminal History

 St. Joseph County warrants and additional criminal history information can be obtained with a relative ease. Whether you need reassurance that your new fiancé is telling you the truth about his or her past, or you want to see what is publically available about your own not-so-stellar background, a check of the county files can promise you piece of mind.

Looking for the County's wanted people

You can conduct an online St. Joseph County warrant search by last name using the police department database. Any data on juveniles will most likely not be included in the search because it cannot legally be released to the public. If you have detailed questions about your inquiry, you may contact the Warrant Division of the county jail at 574-235-9756. BackToTop

How to get copies of St. Joseph County court records

It is very easy to pull the county's court records showing a person’s prior prosecutions and convictions. These files are maintained by the Clerk of Court. The county has two superior courts, a circuit court, and a traffic and misdemeanor court. A thorough search will require you to contact the clerk of each and file a Freedom of Information Act request for cases related to the individual you are researching. The request can be a very brief letter, but it will need to contain the name and any other information you may know about the person. You should submit a self-addressed, stamped envelope with each request. There may be a fee associated with this service. Address your request to:
Superior Court – Mishawaka County Services Building 219 Lincolnway West Mishawaka IN 46554 574-256-6202

Tracing registered sex offenders
