Tennessee Most Wanted — FAQ
Can I see a person's active arrest warrant online?
Sometimes. A few states and large counties publish active-warrant rosters; many do not. Calling the sheriff's non-emergency line (or the issuing court clerk) is the reliable confirmation method.
What should I do if I recognize a wanted fugitive?
Do not approach. Call 911 for immediate sightings, or use the agency's tip line (FBI: tips.fbi.gov; USMS: usmarshals.gov/tips). Reward programs exist for many Top Ten and 15 Most Wanted.
Are 'wanted' lists kept up to date?
Federal lists (FBI, USMS) are updated as cases change. State lists vary — some are near-real-time, others updated weekly. Treat any public list as a starting point, not a legal determination of current status.
Is there a national warrant database for the public?
No. The FBI's NCIC contains wants/warrants but is law-enforcement-only under 28 U.S.C. § 534. Public lists are agency-by-agency.
