Kendall Criminal Court Records

Kendall County, Illinois Warrant Search

Under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, government agencies must make public records, including warrant-related information, available for inspection or copying unless a statutory exemption applies. This means that citizens and non-citizens may obtain Kendall County arrest records, including disclosable warrant information, generated and maintained by government agencies unless a law states otherwise.

However, the Act also allows custodian agencies to withhold law enforcement records that, if disclosed, would interfere with pending or reasonably contemplated law enforcement, create fair-trial concerns, disclose confidential sources, endanger safety, or obstruct an ongoing criminal investigation.

Individuals seeking warrant information in Kendall County may contact the Kendall County Sheriff’s Civil/Warrant Division. The Sheriff’s Records Division handles police records, including reports, citations, warrants, expungements, and FOIA requests.
