Your Guide for Carrying out a Troup County Warrant Search

A Troup County warrant search is a must if you look for a babysitter for your kids, plan to hire a new employee, or even go on a blind date with a person you do not know well enough. The last thing you want is to find out too late that one of these people is wanted for a crime.

The following article will describe the process of carrying out a criminal background check in Troup County and Georgia as a whole.

Starting your warrant lookup

The most recommended source for a Troup County warrant search is the sheriff. Since his website does not offer an electronic search tool, you will have no choice but to physically get to his office and run your inquiry in person. Their address is 130 Sam Walker Drive, LaGrange, Georgia 30240  telephone number: 706 883 1616.

Moreover, you can obtain information on Troup County warrants by visiting LaGrange Police Department (100 W Haralson St, LaGrange, GA, phone: 706-883-2603) or Hogansville Police Department (117 Lincoln Street, Hogansville GA 30230, Phone: 706-637-6648) and there inquire about fugitives and  wanted people within their jurisdiction.

In the large majority of the cases, the authorities will be willing to reveal warrant information on account of public safety considerations. What is more, law enforcement agencies hope that by cooperating with the public, they may get valuable leads that may help them with their criminal investigations.

Addressing the Court

Another source that may help you perform a Troup County warrant search is the court, where arrest orders are issued.

The Clerk of Courts is in charge of storing and safeguarding Troup County court records, warrant included, so they may have the information you are seeking.

You will need to arrive at their office (100 Ridley Avenue - P.O. Box 866, LaGrange, GA 3024, Phone: 706-883-1740) and file a request to view public records. The Georgia Open Records Act obligates them to reveal their records unless there are special cases involved which will allow them to keep these records concealed (This is usually the case when minors are involved)

The Clerk's website also has an online search tool where you can trace criminal cases by their number, citation, date or by defendant's name.

carrying out a Georgia warrant search

To run an inquiry on Georgia warrants, use the GA Felon Search (See link below) operated by the GBI. This wider online inquiry tool will enable you to check a person's background in all of the state's counties based on his/her name. You will be asked to sign up, give your DOB and credit card number. Each case searched costs $15.

Performing an arrest search

A Troup County warrant search, as successful as it may be, will not tell you much about a person's incarceration history.

To garner information on Troup County arrests, contact Jail Division in the Sheriff office and ask about a specific inmate. Alternatively, you can use the sheriff's online jail rooster (To reach it, tap on WebJail on the hompage of the sheriff's website). Using this rooster,  you can trace a detainee by name, booking/incarceration date or arresting agency.

Accessing Georgia prison records

To check a person's arrest history in all of GA counties, go to the online Offender Search  maintained by the GDC. It will reveal the state's prison records based on an inmate name, gender, race, age and correctional institution. This tool also gives data on parolees.

Performing a sex offender search

To enable you to keep your loved ones away from people with a history of sex violence and convictions, the sheriff provides you with an offender watch tool (accessed from the sheriff's homepage) that reveals former sex offenders in your area. You just need to insert a desired area for inspection and the electronic database will show results.

Using this site's effective background check tool

The online search tool on this website allows users to get a full criminal history report on any person residing in Georgia using only one source and, thus, save time and money. For example, you will be able to run a Troup County warrant search from the comfort of your home or on your smartphone with no need to visit the sheriff office. The same goes for doing an arrest search or, for that matter, acquiring any additional criminal background information.

Results are highly accurate and are constantly updated. Searchers' anonymity is guaranteed. That is, a person will have no way knowing that his/her background has been checked on this site.
