Are you trying to determine if you or someone you know has a Polk County arrest warrant out for them? Or are you trying to find the arrest records of a particular person, or even just trying to see who is currently in jail in Polk County? Thankfully, several different resources will answer all of these questions for you, and we will direct you to each of them below.

Unlike many other counties found in Florida, Polk County has an online submissions form to perform an arrest warrant search. You can find this form at http://www.polksheriff.org/FugitivesOffenders/Pages/WarrantsInquiry.aspx. Additional resources also exist, such as the statewide wanted individual’s database at http://pas.fdle.state.fl.us/pas/person/displayWantedPersonsSearch.a, or you can use the above search form to search through an online criminal records database instantly.

Suppose you are more concerned with looking up information about specific individuals that already have a jail record in Polk County. In that case, you should use the Florida Department of Corrections Offender Network search, which you can locate at http://www.dc.state.fl.us/AppCommon/.

An arrest warrant can only be issued by the judge or magistrate of a specific county, like Polk County. Despite always being issued by an individual county, arrest warrants can function over county lines. This means that if you discover that you currently have an active arrest warrant, merely moving to another county will not prevent your arrest. We strongly recommend retaining an attorney’s services if you find you have a Polk County arrest warrant.
