Searching for Shelby County Warrants & Arrest Records

Shelby County warrants require the signature of a judge to become active and legally binding. Generally speaking, a judge will agree to sign a warrant based on a probable cause that a crime has indeed been committed by the prospective suspect, and it is the duty of the police to provide relevant evidence. Arrest records are formal documents which show all the instances in which a person has been incarcerated. It is essential to bear in mind that an arrest does not mean a conviction. The latter can be established only in court. The best starting point for a Shelby County warrant search is the sheriff office. Their website contains a computerized inquiry tool that will help you check whether a certain individual is wanted by the police. Search results include the following: The suspect's mugshot and personal details, warrant number and a description of his or her offenses. What is unique about this search tool is that it allows the public to share information on suspects that may expedite their arrest, such as their hiding place (if known), friends or known hangouts, medication they take or the car they drive. Users who provide the police with tips may choose to remain anonymous. For more details, you can call SCSO Fugitive Bureau: 901-222-5627. The authorities put at your disposal useful tools for an arrest inquiry. To perform a Shelby County inmate lookup, refer to the electronic data bank on the sheriff's website. By typing a name or a booking number, if you happen to know it, you will get a list of detainees incarcerated during the last couple of months. You will see their charges and their booking, release and court dates. Most of the files include the offender's mugshot. For older jail records and for additional information, contact the jail administration at 901-222-4700.

Undertaking a sex offender search
