City of Decatur, Morgan County, AL Public Records

• Where do I find out if I have a warrant for my arrest?
  The Morgan county sheriff's webpage provides public viewing of recent warrants. You will find a link to "Inmate and Wanted Search" on their home page. On the following page, you will see a tab called "Recent Warrants." You can see the name, age, physical description, and photo.
• Where can I find access to the location of property records?
  In Alabama, county recorders provide various documents to the public. Deed information can be requested from the county's official site. All counties, however, do not offer the same easy service in obtaining the property records and have yet to implement a viable public source for the documents. Recorder's offices fall under the probate court, so when looking for deeds, the link to the probate court will probably mention how to obtain property records.
• Where can I find access to past criminal history that would not be in background checks?
  All background checks or even criminal history checks do not equal their coverage. This means that there are criminal history searches that are better and more comprehensive than others. Checking the coverage would tell you what they search for. One example is that the more recent criminal records do not appear in background checks, so a criminal case search at the courthouse, whether online or in person, needs to be conducted. You can conduct several searches on your own without requesting a full background check. Other than cases at the courthouse, the department of corrections offers public viewing of inmates by name and will show the photo, description, offenses, release date, length of sentence, and more. Online periodicals make it easier to look up offenders in a particular area. There are wanted lists and warrant searches that can be found online. Some of it has to do with luck, as technology is still being implemented but has not fully caught up.
