How to Search Weld County Warrants
The main tool is the Weld County Sheriff active warrant search. It is free and public. It runs against the Sheriff's data feed and was last updated April 30, 2026 at the time of the inspected build. A user can search with no name at all and filter only by city, ZIP, bail amount, crime level, or jurisdiction. Most users start with a last name. Then they add a date range or a charge keyword to narrow the hit list. The Sheriff publishes the same warrant search from its main public records page.
The Sheriff warrant page is a query form, not a list. The user must run a search to see any names. Results show the person's name, the city of record, the bail amount, the warrant number, the warrant date, the date the warrant was entered, the crime level, the warrant charge, the original charge, and the issuing jurisdiction. The page has a short top notice that explains the data is public, that an outstanding warrant is not a conviction, and that not finding a warrant does not prove there is no warrant.
The official portal page is shown below for orientation, taken from the live Sheriff warrant search.
The screen shows the full filter set side by side with the result columns. A name search runs across the same data set, and the result list builds in the same browser tab.
- Open the warrant search at apps.weld.gov/sheriff/Warrants and read the top notice.
- Type a last name, or skip the name and pick a city such as Greeley, Evans, or Fort Lupton.
- Pick a bail range and a warrant date range to narrow the list.
- Pick a jurisdiction in the dropdown if the warrant court is known.
- Submit the form, read each row, and click into the record for the warrant number and full charge text.
The Weld County Sheriff and the Warrant Database
Sheriff Steve Reams runs the Weld County Sheriff's Office at 1950 O Street in Greeley. The Sheriff homepage links the warrant search, the daily arrest report, the daily released report, the most wanted page, and records requests. The Sheriff also lists Crime Stoppers and an anonymous tip line. The warrant database collects entries from county and district court warrants and from city police departments that route data to the Sheriff feed. It does not list every federal warrant or every out-of-state warrant.
The Sheriff homepage gives a quick view of the public tools, including the warrant search.
The page links the daily arrest list, the released list, the warrant lookup, and a tip form. Users who want a tip line should call the Sheriff at (970) 356-4015 or the local Crime Stoppers number, which the Sheriff homepage links from the same band.
Weld County Warrant Search Fields and Filters
The Sheriff warrant tool has more fields than most county warrant pages. Most filters are optional, which lets a user search by city, by bail, by date, or by court alone. The table below lists every field, the field type, whether it is required, and the dropdown options or notes from the live page.

What a Weld County Warrant Record Shows
A warrant result page shows the data fields that the Sheriff publishes as public. The exact fields seen on a record match the filters above and add charge and court details. The two-column table maps each field to the data it shows.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Full name of the warrant subject. |
| City | City of record tied to the warrant. |
| Warrant Number | Unique ID for the warrant in the Sheriff system. |
| Warrant Date | Date the court signed the warrant. |
| Date Warrant Entered | Date the warrant was loaded into the Sheriff database. |
| Crime Level | Felony, Misdemeanor, or Traffic. |
| Warrant Charge | The statute or charge that the warrant lists. |
| Original Charge | The charge from the underlying case file. |
| Bail Amount | Cash or surety bail amount on the warrant, or No Bond. |
| Jurisdiction | Issuing court such as Weld County Court or Greeley Municipal Court. |
Note: the Sheriff page does not publish a booking photo, a date of birth, a home address, or a vehicle plate inside the warrant record.
Types of Warrants in Weld County
Weld County warrants split by which court signs the warrant and what the warrant orders. The Sheriff's jurisdiction dropdown lists six issuing bodies, which means six common sources for active warrants. The list below maps the most common warrant types a user will see on a Weld result page.
- Arrest warrant — a judge in the Weld County Court or Weld County District Court signs an arrest warrant when a sworn affidavit shows probable cause for a crime.
- Bench warrant — issued from the bench when a defendant skips a hearing, fails to obey an order, or violates a bond condition.
- Failure-to-appear warrant — a common bench warrant subtype tied to a missed court date in a county or district case.
- Municipal warrant — Frederick Municipal Court, Greeley Municipal Court, Evans Police Department, and Milliken Police Department all route municipal-court warrants through the Sheriff feed.
- Fugitive of justice warrant — held in Weld County jail for another agency, often out of state or out of county.
- Civil / contempt warrant — civil cases such as protection-order violations and family court contempt can also trigger a warrant.
What to Do If You Have an Outstanding Weld County Warrant
The warrant search page lists two turn-in sites for Weld County warrants. The first is the Weld County Combined Courts Clerk's Office at 915 10th Street in Greeley, between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., on the ground floor at the east end. The second is the Weld County Jail at 2110 O Street in Greeley. Court information runs through (970) 475-2400; the line lets a caller press 0 for an operator. For a cash bond, the Jail page says the user must bring cash or a cashier's check. Cashier's checks and money orders must be made payable to the Weld County Sheriff's Office.
A turn-in is not the only option. Many people first call a defense attorney to plan the surrender. Felony warrants, no-bond warrants, out-of-county warrants, protection-order warrants, and probation warrants raise the stakes. A lawyer can ask the court to set a bond, recall the warrant on motion, or pick a court appearance instead of a jail booking. After the warrant is cleared, the Sheriff data feed updates, but not on the same hour, so a follow-up check the next day is wise.
Important: Call a Colorado-licensed defense attorney before turning yourself in on a Weld County warrant, especially on a felony, no-bond, or protection-order warrant.
Crime Stoppers and Most Wanted in Weld County
The Sheriff homepage links a Most Wanted page and a Crime Stoppers tip channel for active warrants and unsolved cases. Tips can be left by phone or by web form. The Sheriff's public tools are unusually direct: daily arrests, daily releases, active warrants, daily calls for service, most wanted, registered sex offenders, and records requests all sit on the homepage. A user with a tip can also call the Sheriff's main line at (970) 356-4015.
Tip rewards on a Crime Stoppers tip pay only if the tip helps the case. Anonymous tippers get a code number and do not need to give a name. Some warrants on the Most Wanted page also appear on the active warrant search; some do not, because Most Wanted is a curated list and the warrant search is a full database.
Limitations of the Online Warrant Search
The Sheriff warrant page has a clear disclaimer. Not finding a warrant does not preclude a warrant. The page warns that other agencies, including municipal and federal agencies, may hold a warrant that is not in the Weld feed. A warrant may also be too new to appear, or it may be sealed by court order. The data is the system of record at the time the report was created, not a live confirmation.
Federal warrants run through the U.S. Marshals Service and the issuing federal court, not the Sheriff. Sealed warrants do not appear in public results at all. Juvenile warrants are limited under the Children's Code and CJD 05-01. For a state criminal history check, the Sheriff page points users to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation records check service.
Note: a clear search does not mean a clean record. Verify with the issuing court before relying on the result for travel, employment, or housing decisions.
Innocence Until Proven Guilty
The Sheriff warrant page repeats the same disclaimer used on the daily arrest report. Warrant records are public, but a warrant is not a conviction. All persons with warrants are innocent until proven guilty in court. The published data shows what the Sheriff system contains at the report run time. None of it shows guilt, none of it shows a final outcome, and none of it should be used as a background check under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
For conviction or case-status data, users should run a docket search on the Colorado Judicial Branch site or order a record through the official record/document request form. For a state criminal history, the proper route is the CBI records check. For an arrest list, see the daily arrest report. For a release list, see the daily released report.
