Warrant Division

The Warrant Division of the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office is solely dedicated to locating and arresting individuals with active warrants issued by the courts. While all sworn deputies—such as Road Patrol and Area Commanders—can serve warrants, our division is focused full-time on this critical mission.

Our Approach

Our deputies actively pursue individuals with outstanding warrants through:

  • Daily arrest operations

  • Monthly warrant sweeps across Kanawha County

  • Collaboration with the U.S. Marshals Service

  • Community engagement via social media to help identify and locate wanted individuals

These proactive efforts are designed to keep our communities safe by ensuring those wanted by the courts are held accountable.

U.S. Marshals Task Force Partnership

Members of the Warrant Division are also assigned to the United States Marshals Service Violent Offender Task Force. This partnership enhances our ability to track and apprehend violent offenders, combining local insight with federal resources to serve and protect the citizens of Kanawha County more effectively.
