Is there a way to search arrest warrants in Vermont?▼
Yes - Vermont arrest warrants can be searched online. The Vermont Judiciary Public Portal at https://publicportal.courts.vt.gov/ now includes enhanced functionality for searching active criminal arrest warrants statewide (see the official guide at https://www.vermontjudiciary.org/media/12286). Search by name, case number, or county. The Vermont Crime Information Center (VCIC, https://vcic.vermont.gov/home), a division of the Vermont Department of Public Safety, also runs the Vermont Criminal Conviction Record Internet Service (VCCRIS) at https://secure.vermont.gov/DPS/criminalrecords/ - name-and-DOB searches return any conviction history; fee 30 dollars per report (https://vcic.vermont.gov/ch-information/record-checks). For specific outstanding warrants not yet served, contact the issuing agency: county sheriff offices (e.g., Rutland County Sheriff https://www.rutlandsheriff.com/), the Vermont State Police (https://vsp.vermont.gov/), or the local police department. The Vermont Public Records Act (1 V.S.A. section 315) opens executed warrants to inspection. Free third-party aggregators like https://vermont.recordspage.org/warrant-search/ summarize agency contacts but the Judiciary Portal and VCIC are the authoritative sources.
