People will usually research arrest warrants from Unicoi County, Tennessee, when they fear that such an order has been issued by the local courts in their name or want to find out if a person they know was ever embroiled in a criminal matter. Regardless of why you would like to get a warrant search done, there are only two ways to go about the inquiry.

The first option involves using an online database; you can access a privately maintained repository by filling the form found on top of this page. The advantage of taking this approach is that you can even go looking for outstanding warrants from Unicoi if you already have such a decree against you.

If you were to go through a government agency, this would lead to immediate arrest. Another benefit is, of course, the convenience of looking for arrest records without stepping out of your home. A small fee is charged for the service, but you get access to nationwide records of active warrants by becoming a member.

In contrast, the county clerk’s office, which keeps the court dockets, the magistrate’s office, and the sheriff’s department will be able to offer you a notarized copy of the background report. This is what you will need if you have been asked to provide a criminal history report by a potential employer or are digging into the past of a prospective employee. To visit these agencies, you can drive down to:

  • The police: 102 North Main Street, Erwin, Tennessee 37650
