Putnam County Arrest Records and Warrant Search

To conduct a thorough background check on a person in Putnam County, Florida you will basically need to get three types of information: arrest warrants, arrest records and court records.

Extracting warrant information

To do a Putnam County warrant search, you will have to consult the sheriff office. You had better go to their office and ask them to go over their criminal database for the information you are looking for. Their address is:

Putnam County Sheriff's Office 130 Orie Griffin Boulevard Palatka, FL 32177

It is also possible to call PCSO Records Custodian at 386-329-0800 for specific instructions or use the online search tool on the sheriff’s website. Otherwise, you may use the electronic search system offered by Florida Crime Information Center. There you will come across information on Florida outstanding warrants originated in the offices of the state’s county sheriffs.

Initiating an arrest search

Looking for Court Records

Court records are part of Putnam County public records and according to Florida freedom of Information Act (also known as Florida FOIA) they are available to the public.

Their address is as follows: 410 St. Johns Avenue, Palatka, FL 32177. Telephone – 386-326-7600. Before we conclude, we would like to offer you another viable source for a background check.
