Okeechobee County Arrest Records and Warrant Search
2,018 arrests were carried out in Okeechobee County, Florida in the course of 2013. A large portion of these arrests was a result of warrants issued by the county’s law enforcement bodies. Basically, there are a couple of recommended measures you can take to find out if there is an Okeechobee County arrest warrant on your name. This article will present them.
First, best thing you can do is to drop by the
sheriff office and ask to go through their criminal database. Their address is 504 North West 4th Street, Okeechobee, FL 34972-2502 (Phone no. 863- 763-3117). Although you will get up to date criminal information, attending the sheriff office has one clear disadvantage: you might be incarcerated if it is discovered there is an outstanding warrant against you circulating in the system.
For this reason, you may probably decide to use the
public access system run by Florida Crime Information Center. This is a computerized database which displays FL wanted persons and presents criminal information relevant to the entire state.
You might also want to perform an Okeechobee County warrant search by filling in the form on top of this article. It allows you to carry out a confidential background check on any person residing in FL counties. You do not need more than the subject’s name.
Initiating an arrest search
The
corrections division webpage on the sheriff’s website presents two useful sources of information. The first helps you run a county jail inmate search by showing a current list of all the county’s arrestees. The second shows a booking summary of the last 24 hours.
If you need to carry out a more comprehensive Okeechobee County arrest records inquiry, we strongly suggest using the
crime information database made available by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. This database reveals a person’s full criminal history (including his arrests).
Okeechobee County public records
