Warrant Office
Allegheny County Sheriff's Office
412-350-4714
Research notes list this warrant line as available 24/7 for criminal bench-warrant routing.
For hearing times, bail amount, fingerprinting, arraignment, preliminary hearing, PFA, and release information, county research routes readers to County Municipal Court / Arraignment Court at 660 First Avenue, phone 412-350-3240.
- For someone believed to be in the Allegheny County Jail, start with jail inmate records and the jail's 412-350-2000 information line.
- For booking photos or photo-request limits, review jail roster mugshots and Pennsylvania CHRIA/RTKL cautions.
- For filed charges, docket events, bail, and court dates, use court records after a jail arrest, UJS Case Search, or the Department of Court Records.
- For Renewal or Passages to Recovery, use the detention facility pages linked in the footer and confirm program-specific rules directly.
- For a sentenced Pennsylvania prisoner, use the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections inmate and parolee locator, not the county jail line.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System because those are separate from Allegheny County custody.
