State agencies that can help with an arrest inquiry and/or warrant lookup in Chittenden County, Vermont!
One of the reasons people approach the police for details on arrests in Chittenden County, VT is because they expect to get this information for free, and possibly through the website of the law enforcement agency. Ditto for a warrants search.
While it is common for a lot of Sheriffs’ Offices to provide the police blotter and the arrest records online, that is not how things are done here.
So, how do you get your hands on the Chittenden County arrest log?
The good news is that you can do your arrest search online, the bad news is that you will have to do quite a bit of rummaging before you finally end up with the arrest list in your hands. In fact, it is easier to find if a particular person was arrested than to get the entire list of arrests in the last 24 hours or even the last 5 days.
That said, you will get information on the inmates currently detained in the 7 correctional centers in VT at https://doc.vermont.gov/offender-locator/. On that page, you will find details such as the date of arrests, likely date of release, bond if applicable, full name of the detainee and the charges/convictions against him.
Regardless of when the arrest was made and when the conviction happened, if a person is still in the correctional system of VT, you will find out about him on this page.
How do you find information on arrest warrants from Chittenden County?
Because all active warrants are issued by the judiciary, you can approach the Clerk of Court’s Office for the inquiry. However, the agency will not give you the warrant list for Chittenden. What you can expect is a warrant lookup in the name of your subject. You will have to provide basic subject details and pay a small fee. The office can be contacted at 32 Cherry St, Suite 300, Burlington, VT 05401
Is there any way to access a subject-specific arrest report in Chittenden County?
For this, you will have to approach the police. The important thing to understand here is that if you are looking for the complete criminal history records of your subject, they won’t oblige. If you simply want to know if a particular person was recently taken into custody, now that is the kind of information they would be willing to offer. In any case, it always makes sense to call them on 802-863-4341, before visiting their office at 70 Ethan Allen Dr, South Burlington, VT 05403, United States.
