There is no provision for an online arrest warrant search in Grant County, WV. This means that if you want to find out about any outstanding warrants or past arrest records in your subject’s name and need to go through a state agency to find this information, you will have to be prepared to do some driving around.

Of course, most people would immediately head to the police station to initiate an inquiry with anything to do with a criminal occurrence. This approach is right in part because cops do have information on all arrests made in the region, along with the issue of Grant County active warrants.

Also, a division of the state police force keeps details on the annual crime figures and trends. In addition to this, you will be able to find the most wanted list from the sheriff’s office as well. However, despite being the serving point for locally issued bench warrants, this agency will not have any civil matters.

This is where the judiciary comes into the equation; the magistrate’s office will be able to inform you about the whole gamut of legal instruments put to use against the subject. This will include outstanding warrants from Grant County, criminal summons, and more. Of course, you will also get details on court dispositions of a case, arrest records in the subject’s name, and much more from this source.

You can also try the office of the county clerk for your warrant search. In particular, this agency will get details from the civil and criminal tribunals in the area for you as they are the court dockets’ maintainers. The best part is that you will need to visit just one state building to get in touch with all three offices. The justice center for Grant County is located at 5 Highland Ave, Petersburg, West Virginia 26847.
