How to Inquire about Erie County Warrants and Arrest Records

Want to make sure your neighbor / employee / the guy you have been dating lately are not wanted by any local or state law enforcement agency? We recommend contacting the sheriff office so as to inquire about Erie County warrants (Phone: (716) 858-7618; Address: Erie County Sheriff's Office 10 Delaware Ave. Buffalo, New York 14202). Unless we are talking about minors (whose records are usually sealed) or a case under active police investigation, the authorities will tend to cooperate regarding updated information on Erie County warrants. They believe helping the public will eventually pay off as they will get information in return regarding the whereabouts of wanted fugitives.

What about an arrest inquiry?

Erie County arrest records are presented online on PDF files on the sheriff website. These files contain names of current inmates, their ICN #, the exact facility where they are held and booking date. You may also attempt to contact directly the county's correctional facility at 716-858-7618 to make an inquiry about a specific inmate. Finally, for instructions on how to run a wider NY arrest search, refer to the following page.

Carrying out a criminal history search

Erie County court records will tell you whether the subject of your search has felony or misdemeanor charges on his or her name. Most of the records are available to the public on computer terminals at the office of the County Clerk (92 Franklin Street, Buffalo, New York 14202, ph: 716-858-8785). If you wish to have a copy, you will need to pay a fee. There is also an option to see files online, but it requires becoming a registered member and paying an enormous fee of $250.
