Crown Point Warrant Records

Warrant records in Crown Point are maintained by Lake County courts and the Lake County Sheriff's Office. Crown Point is the county seat of Lake County, which means the main courthouse and circuit court clerk are located here. All Lake County warrant-related matters run through the courts in Crown Point. The county uses Indiana's Odyssey system, which feeds case data into the free MyCase portal for public access. Residents can search records online, call the sheriff, or visit the courthouse to check warrant status and request court documents.

How to Search Crown Point Warrant Records

Indiana's free MyCase portal is the main tool for searching warrant records tied to Crown Point and Lake County.

Results show charge information, court dates, and current case status. If a warrant is tied to an active case, it typically appears in the case record. MyCase is free to use and available at any time online.
