The portal shows case status, charges, hearing dates, and docket activity. It does not always flag open warrants with a specific tag, but you can read the docket to get a clear sense of where a case stands.

Westfield Police Department
The Westfield Police Department is located at 17535 Dartown Rd, Westfield, IN 46074. Non-emergency: 317-896-5235. WPD is the primary law enforcement agency within Westfield city limits. Officers execute arrest warrants issued by Hamilton County courts and coordinate with the Hamilton County Sheriff on cases that involve both city and county jurisdiction.
Under IC 35-33-2-1, a warrant must be based on probable cause and supported by an affidavit signed by a judge before any officer can make an arrest under its authority. WPD officers enforce those warrants once issued. When a warrant comes up during a traffic stop or other police contact, the named person is taken into custody and brought before the Hamilton County court that issued the warrant.
WPD does not operate its own public warrant search tool. For that, use MyCase or contact the Hamilton County Sheriff. If you have a general question about a case or a police report, the Westfield Police non-emergency line is the right contact. Visit the station in person for records requests, though court records are best obtained through the clerk's office in Noblesville.
