As in most Georgia counties, the Magistrate’s Court for Walker County is responsible for issuing arrest warrants. Your search for arrest records should start with the Magistrate Court. Unfortunately, in Walker County, the Magistrate’s Court does not maintain a searchable online database for arrest warrants. You can contact the Magistrate at 102 Napier Street, Lafayette, GA. The Criminal Warrant Application Rights and Obligations document on the court’s website explains the procedures and requirements for requesting the issuance of an arrest warrant.

The Walker County Clerk of Superior Court is another good source in Walker County for arrest records. You can search the online database for criminal records in Walker County by choosing “Court Docket” and then “Criminal Records” at the Clerk’s website.

If you want to search the criminal history for a particular person in Walker County, go to the Sheriff’s Office. The criminal history request form is on the Sheriff’s website. You can also search the current inmates at the jail and see Walker County’s most wanted list. The Sherriff’s Office is a good source for searching outstanding warrants and active arrest warrants.

If you are concerned that someone has been convicted of a felony, you can perform an online search by name on the Georgia Felon Search website. The cost is $15 per search. However, it is well worth the money if you have searched the Walker County criminal records and still believe there may be more than you have found.
