Conducting an arrest warrant search in Monroe County is a simple three-step process. The procedure’s simplicity should give you enough reason to look for information on crime history before getting into new personal and professional alliances. To begin with, you will need to have a clear idea about the purpose of the inquiry.

If employment is the reason for launching the search, you will have to notify the subject of the background check requirement and even tell them about the report received by you. On the other hand, if you want to look for the arrest warrants from Monroe County in the name of an acquaintance, this can be done anonymously.

You will need to initiate the active warrant inquiry through official state agencies such as the sheriff’s office, the county clerk, or the magistrate’s court for legal purposes. The common thread here is that all of these departments can tell you about Monroe County arrest records and outstanding warrants against your subject.

However, you can get the most amount of data from the court’s office clerk, which keeps the database of court dockets. To get in touch with either of the agencies discussed above to find data on arrests and warrants, you can visit them in person at:

  • Law enforcement: PO Box 350, Union, West Virginia 24983
  • Judiciary: 216 E Main St, Harrisville, WV 26362
  • County clerk: PO Box 350, Union, West Virginia 24983
