Active warrants in Rhode Island are maintained by law enforcement at state, municipality, and local levels. There is no single database of all warrants in Rhode Island.
What this page covers: Rhode Island state warrant databases, most-wanted lists, and municipality-level warrant search tools where available. What it does not cover: Federal warrants (those are handled by the U.S. Marshals and FBI).
Where to start: Check the state law enforcement agency first for statewide warrant searches. For municipality-level warrants, contact the municipality sheriff. Many municipality sheriffs post active warrant lists on their websites.
Common mistake: Most-wanted lists only show high-priority fugitives. If you need to check whether someone has any active warrant, a most-wanted list is not enough — contact the municipality sheriff or clerk of court directly.
