To find Vinton County arrest warrants, the magistrate’s court is often deemed as the primary source. Because this agency is in charge of issuing all legal orders, including active warrants, bench warrants, search orders, summons, and subpoenas, it is understandable why the magistrate’s office should be considered first when seeking a background report.

On the same note, the sheriff’s department can provide details on everything crime-related, from generic crime statistics to the most wanted list and even person-specific inquiries. If you have the name of the subject and a few other personal identifiers like the date of birth, gender, and social security information, you can easily get this person’s criminal history by initiating a warrant search through the law enforcement agency.

Finally, on the list of government agencies that can get you information on Vinton County outstanding warrants is the county clerk’s office. This department works towards keeping case records for the judiciary, so they participate in a criminal matter right from when the police approach the court for an active warrant.

A deputy from this office attends the pre-warrant hearing to record the court docket. This information on all trial proceedings from the civil and criminal tribunals is kept in a database searched by visiting the justice center.
