Active Warrant Search in Lane County, Oregon

Arrest warrants in Lane County are not considered fully public under the Oregon Public Records Law (ORS 192.311 through 192.478). While the information of the existence of an active arrest warrant is often public, copies of the document itself are typically withheld until the warrant has been served or quashed.

This statutory framework helps law enforcement to effect a lawful arrest without any sort of third-party interference with the investigation, endanger someone, or cause the individual to evade arrest. Once a warrant has been served and the suspect arrested, the warrant and the supporting documents typically become public records.

To inquire about an active arrest warrant, individuals can contact the Lane County Circuit Court Clerk’s Office. They can do this in person, by phone, or by using the Oregon Judicial Case Information Network (OJCIN). The OJCIN allows searched to be conducted by:

• Record number
• Name in the Last, First Middle Suffix Format.

The criminal case record will display details of the arrest warrant if the arrest was executed pursuant to an arrest warrant.

Individuals may also contact the Lane County Sheriff’s Office or the local department operating in the relevant jurisdiction to inquire about active warrants.
