When seeking an arrest warrant search in Barnstable County, it is normal for people to consider the police as their sole source of information. In reality, the MA judiciary can be your new best friend for information on crime history including arrest records and warrants.

The office of the magistrate and the clerk of court’s department are the judicial entities that work towards processing arrest warrant requests. While the judge has a key role to play in the procedure, the deputies of the county clerk have been entrusted the task of maintaining the court dockets.

So, if Barnstable County active warrants for arrests are granted in response to police petitions, these agencies are among the first few to keep details on such legal processes. While the magistrate has to sign all legal provisions before they are released, the county clerk’s department keeps its presence in the court room through a deputy.

These judicial personnel are in charge of recording case details for the court dockets database. Other justice agencies that also have information on outstanding warrants from Barnstable along with arrest records are the state police, the local sheriff’s office as well as the Federal Bureau of Investigations.

If you want to inquire about a third party subject or are seeking a personal crime history profile or the purpose of gaining employment, you can go to:

  • The sheriff: 6000 Sheriff’s Place, Bourne, Massachusetts 02532
  • The magistrate: 3195 Main St, Barnstable Village, MA 02630
  • The clerk of court: PO Box 427, Barnstable, Massachusetts 02630

Remember that most local justice entities will only be able to provide information on criminal occurrences that were commissioned within the boundaries of the state. In contrast, you could approach a private data vendor for nationwide crime history records.
