Kent County, Rhode Island, Warrant Search

In Kent County and across Rhode Island, arrest warrants are public records. The framework for access to public records is Title 38, Section 2 of the Rhode Island General Law (Access to Public Records Act (APRA)). However, judicial records (including Kent County’s arrest warrants) are governed by the Rhode Island Judiciary under court administrative policies and rules, and not the Rhode Island Access to Public Records Act.

Individuals seeking to verify warrant status in Kent County should use the Rhode Island Judiciary Public Portal to search for warrants linked to criminal cases or bench warrants issued by Kent County’s courts. Alternatively, while Kent County does not operate a Sheriff's Office, inquirers can contact local police departments for information about outstanding arrest warrants.
