Active Warrant Search in Chatham County, Georgia

An arrest warrant in Chatham County is a judicial document that identifies an individual suspected of an offense and orders local law enforcement to arrest the person. Warrants are issued after law enforcement, and in some cases a private citizen, tenders a written complaint alleging that the accused has most likely violated the law.

Although private citizens can ask the court to issue a warrant, execution is primarily the responsibility of the Chatham County Sheriff's Office. To look up an active warrant in the county, researchers may call the Sheriff's Office on the phone at (912) 652-7634. Searches can also be made in person, but those carry the risk of an immediate arrest if a warrant is found in the inquirer's name.
