Three sources for active warrants in Little Rock. (1) **Pulaski County Sheriff's Office** at https://pcso.org — most county-level felony and unincorporated warrants. The PCSO Detention Facility is at 3201 W Roosevelt Rd, Little Rock AR 72204. Inmate roster (current detainees including booked warrants) at https://pulaski-so-ar.zuercherportal.com. (2) **Pulaski County District Court Warrants** at https://pulaskicountydc.com/warrants/, phone (501) 340-6850 — bench warrants for failure to appear in District Court (misdemeanors, traffic, city ordinance). The District Court can also tell you how to **clear the warrant** by appearing voluntarily (often a re-set hearing date with a $25–$100 motion fee, far better than getting picked up on a stop). (3) **Arkansas Judiciary CourtConnect** at https://caseinfo.aoc.arkansas.gov — every filed case shows whether a bench warrant has been issued for failure to appear; covers Pulaski Circuit Court (felonies, divorce) and District Courts statewide. (4) **Little Rock Police Department** for warrants from city-level cases: 700 W Markham St, Little Rock AR 72201, phone (501) 371-4621. (5) **Arkansas State Police Most Wanted** at https://dps.arkansas.gov for serious statewide fugitives. **What won't show up**: confidential warrants in active investigations and sealed indictments. **Strong recommendation**: if a warrant might be out for you, retain a defense attorney before walking into a station. A planned voluntary surrender — often with bond posted in advance — beats a traffic-stop arrest. Sources: Pulaski County Sheriff, Pulaski County District Court, Arkansas Judiciary.

Searching for inmates in Union County, Arkansas (El Dorado) splits across three layers.

Live inmate roster at https://www.unioncountysheriff.net/inmateRoster — name, booking number, age, sex, race, booking date. Alternate roster via Citizen Connect at https://cc.southernsoftware.com/bookingsearch/index.php?AgencyID=UnionCoAR. The Union County Sheriff also maintains a bail-bond book per Arkansas statute. Current detainee count typically runs around 200. (2) **Arkansas state prison inmates** (sentenced felons) — Arkansas Department of Corrections inmate population search at https://portal.arkansas.gov/service/ar-inmate-population-search/ or directly at https://doc.arkansas.gov. (3) **Federal inmates** — Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator at https://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/. (4) **Court records** for any case that produced a charge — Arkansas Judiciary CourtConnect at https://caseinfo.aoc.arkansas.gov, pick Union County.

Three reliable sources for active warrants in Arkansas. (1) **County Sheriff active warrant list** — most counties publish a public list. Sebastian (Fort Smith) at https://warrants.sebastiancountyar.gov/; Benton at https://sheriff.bentoncountyar.gov; Pulaski (Little Rock) at https://pcso.org; White at https://wcso.cc; Sharp at https://www.sharpcountysheriff.com. Some counties also use the **ISOMS Warrant Portal** at https://arccportal.isoms.cloud:8004/portal/Warrants. (2) **Arkansas Judiciary CourtConnect** at https://caseinfo.aoc.arkansas.gov — every filed case shows whether a bench warrant has been issued for failure to appear; covers Circuit (felonies, divorce) and District (misdemeanors, traffic) courts in all 75 counties. (3) **Arkansas State Police Most Wanted** at https://dps.arkansas.gov for serious statewide fugitives, plus the **U.S. Marshals Profiled Fugitives** at https://www.usmarshals.gov/what-we-do/fugitive-apprehension/profiled-fugitives for federal warrants. **Won't show up**: confidential warrants in active investigations, sealed indictments, juvenile-court warrants. Many low-level municipal warrants don't propagate to county or state systems and require a phone call to the issuing court. **Quash a warrant**: most courts allow a Motion to Quash that re-sets a hearing date for around $25–$100 motion fee — much better than a traffic-stop arrest. **Strong recommendation**: if a warrant might be out for you, retain a defense attorney before walking into a station. Voluntary surrender on planned terms — bond posted in advance — beats an unplanned arrest. Sources: county sheriffs, Arkansas Judiciary, Arkansas State Police, ISOMS Portal.
