The Monroe County Most Wanted Program
The Joint Communications page explains local dispatch, which is not a warrant database.
An emergency line is for emergencies only. Record questions belong elsewhere. In Monroe County, the court and the sheriff split the work. Pull the case number, the issuing division, the public docket events, and any current instructions the court has posted before you act on anything. Case.net is a fair starting point for a warrant lookup, but a case page there is not a live warrant roster, and only the issuing court can confirm an active warrant. The Monroe County Circuit Clerk holds the court file. The sheriff answers service questions. Call ahead before you travel, because Monroe County publishes no dedicated warrant counter, no surrender schedule, and no bond window.
How the Most Wanted and Warrant Roundup Lists Work
A most wanted or warrant roundup list is a snapshot, not a court record. Read any entry against the case number, issuing division, and public docket events in Monroe County. Case.net starts the warrant search; the Circuit Clerk and sheriff finish it. No local warrant counter, surrender schedule, or bond window is posted here, so ask before you travel.
Note: [15-40 word callout - the published list is a snapshot and can lag real status; a name may remain after an arrest or drop after a surrender, so the official agency page is the only current source. Absence from the list is not proof there is no warrant.]
How to Report a Tip Safely
A tip goes to the Monroe County Sheriff, never to an emergency line unless it is one. Give the agency the case number and docket details if you have them. Case.net can supply those, though it will not confirm warrant status. The clerk keeps the court file. Call ahead, since Monroe County posts no warrant counter, surrender schedule, or bond window.
- The official record should be read with its case number, issuing division, public docket events, and current court instructions. Case.net is a starting point, not proof of present warrant status. Contact the Monroe County Circuit Clerk for the court file and the sheriff for service questions. Ask before travel because no dedicated warrant counter, surrender schedule, or bond window was published.

Key Point: [15-40 word callout - tips to Crime Stoppers are anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward; the safest action is to report and step back, never to confront or pursue a wanted person.]
Most Wanted vs an Active Warrant
A most wanted listing is publicity, not a warrant record. An active warrant is a court order, and only the issuing court in Monroe County can confirm, recall, or quash it. Check the case number, division, and docket through Case.net first. The Circuit Clerk holds the file. Ask before you travel; no local warrant counter, surrender schedule, or bond window is posted.
| Feature | Most Wanted List | Active Warrant |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | [curated high-priority subset] | [any unserved warrant] |
| Who publishes it | [sheriff / Crime Stoppers] | [issuing court / sheriff records] |
| Public visibility | [names and photos published] | [searched by name / DOB, if public] |
| How to resolve | [surrender or arrest] | [surrender, bond, or motion to recall] |
If You Believe You Are on a List
Think you are on a Monroe County list? Start with the case number and the issuing division. Case.net shows docket events but not live warrant status, so call the Circuit Clerk for the court file and the sheriff for service questions. Talk to a lawyer before an appearance if arrest is possible. Ask ahead about surrender, since no warrant counter, surrender schedule, or bond window is posted.
Important: [15-30 word callout - consult an attorney before acting; do not approach the agency alone; an attorney can confirm the warrant and arrange a voluntary surrender and bond on your terms.]
