Active Warrant Search in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania

Under the Rules of Criminal Procedure and the Unified Judicial System's Public Access Policy, warrants are open to the general public. Anyone can look for unsealed or open warrants with the Allegheny Sheriff's Office, county courts, or municipal police.

The following accessibility timelines are crucial when requesting warrants:

  • Rule 513 of the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure allows the public to examine arrest warrants immediately upon release. However, in certain circumstances (where the court finds good cause), the public release of an arrest warrant may be delayed until execution or for up to 72 hours after issuance, whichever comes first.

  • For search warrants, Rule 212(A) blocks access to the warrants themselves and probable cause affidavits until execution.
