How to Find Out If Someone Was Arrested in Kansas
- 1). Gather personal information about the person you are trying to find. The correct full name, age, birth date and race of the person are key. Knowing the person's Social Security number, state-identification number and aliases will also help.
- 2). Enter the name of the person into the online Offender Locator on the Kansas Department of Corrections website. A list of inmates matching your search terms will come up with photos. The website will give details of the state facility where each inmate is being held.
- 3). Contact the booking office of the jail if you have an idea of the city where a person may be held. The staff can confirm if the person you are looking for is being held in the facility.
- 4). Search court records through the Kansas Judicial Branch website's online Court Search, which in 2010 cost $1 per search regardless of the results. Search by county or court-case number if you have it. Some court information, like Social Security numbers, phone numbers and addresses, is not made available to the public.
