How To Perform a Kansas Warrant Search

In the state of Kansas, warrants are taken very seriously as they are an important part of the criminal justice system in the state. They hold those accountable that break the law, or people that don’t follow their civic duties, as well as those that disobey direct court orders. Once a warrant is issued it becomes public record which anyone can view online. A popular way to access this information is to run a Kansas warrant search through a public record website. The search is simple as long as you know the name of the person of interest. You can simply input their name into the search form and go. Once the results have been displayed you may get multiple results for different people with the same names, this is fairly common. If this is the case, then you will need to sort your results with a middle name, age, or county of residence. Then once you have determined you have the correct person, you can view any active Kansas arrest warrants or bench warrants, arrests, criminal history, court records, and incarcerations. These are all considered public record which anyone can reference online.

Reasons Kansas Warrants Are Issued

It is important to know if there is an active or outstanding warrant set in your name. You can receive a Kansas warrant for various reasons. If a warrant is left unresolved then it can lead to much more serious criminal charges in Kansas. Below are some important reasons for performing a Kansas warrant search.

  • There may be a bench warrant issued by the court for failing to attend a proceeding.
  • The court can issue a bench warrant for an unpaid parking offense.
  • You can receive a bench warrant, capias warrant, or arrest warrant for failing to obey a direct court order.
  • It could be for a criminal activity for which the police suspect your involvement. If they do, they can have the court issue a warrant against you.

Kansas Warrants are Public Records

Warrants in Kansas, as in every state in the U.S., are considered public records. This means that they are accessible to the general public. However, it is worth noting that only active or outstanding warrants will appear in public record databases. Once a warrant has been executed or recalled, it might no longer be visible to the public, although it remains part of a person’s criminal history that can be accessed by law enforcement.

Connection Between Arrest Warrants and Criminal Records

Once a Kansas warrant is issued, it becomes a part of a person’s criminal record even though it does not mean that person is guilty of a suspected crime. It means that a judge has issued a warrant to arrest someone for an alleged crime because of strong supporting evidence. Even though a Kansas arrest warrant doesn’t guarantee a conviction, it is still listed on someone’s criminal record and can have harmful ramifications to a person’s livelihood. Potential employers, housing agencies, or educational institutions conducting background checks can access this information. An unresolved warrant can lead to complications such as job denials, housing application rejections, and other hindrances in personal and professional growth. 

Steps to Take If You Have a Warrant in Kansas

Should you find that you have a Kansas warrant in your name: 

  • Determine What Type of Warrant You Have: If you have a bench warrant then you might be able to rectify the situation yourself if it is regarding a missed court appearance or forgot to pay some court fees. Then you can simply skip to the next step. If you find yourself with an arrest warrant, then you will want to skip to the “Seek Legal Advice” section below. 
  • Address the Underlying Issue: If the warrant is due to unpaid fines or a missed court appearance, addressing the root cause might lead to the warrant being lifted. It might be as simple as rescheduling that missed court date, or jury duty. 
  • Seek Legal Advice: Before you do anything with an arrest warrant it is a good idea to consult with an attorney. They can help guide you in your situation, your rights and the best course of action moving forward. 
  • Consider Turning Yourself In: If you voluntarily surrender yourself, it might be very beneficial to you in court as it demonstrates your accountability and initiative. It is a lot better than being arrested at an inopportune time. You should of course have this discussion with your attorney, there might be other options available to you depending on the criminal charges. 

Running a Kansas Arrest Warrant Search Through State Agencies

A solid option for running a Kansas arrest warrant search is through state run agencies, such as sheriff department websites, such as  Johnson County , Wichita county, or Shawnee county for example. These searches are available to the general public to search however, they cannot be used to search Kansas bench warrants, only arrest warrants. They also have call in phone numbers if you need assistance or want to report a known fugitive or someone that is wanted by the law. In some circumstances they even offer rewards when someone reports a wanted person, and that leads to their apprehension

Another state agency that offers a Kansas arrest warrant search is the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI). The KBI maintains a centralized database that allows people to search fugitives and wanted persons from multiple jurisdictions. This is particularly useful for a broader searches such as performing a statewide search for someone. This state agency has a bulletin board of their most wanted as well as an arrest warrant lookup tool. You can also get a reward for calling in a lead that leads to the arrest of a wanted fugitive. You can also access the list of registered offenders through the KBI website.

    My only qestion is. Why can’t they just update there public records like once a week at the very least?

    1. squarryadministratorsays:

      Many times the delay in reporting of Kansas public records is due to the managing agency being back-logged in their reporting. This reporting delay can vary from state to state and agency to agency. You can always petition your local state or government agency to increase the availability and timeliness of their public record reporting.

  49. LaRaysays:

    I have a warrant in Kansas that I would like to get taken care of

    1. squarryadministratorsays:

      You will want to contact the issuing Kansas state or county agency that issued the warrant. Typically a court or sheriff department will issue warrants for a person’s arrest or bench warrants for a non-appearance or not paying the fines, penalties and fees associated with the warrant.
