Lyon County, Nevada Warrant Search

In the course of ensuring that justice is served, law enforcement often works with the judiciary-for example, when there is probable cause to believe that an individual has committed a crime. In such cases, the court may issue an arrest warrant to allow peace officers to apprehend the suspect, provided the conditions for issuance are met under the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS § 171.106 to NRS § 171.122). The execution ("service") of an arrest warrant rests with law enforcement.

Per the Nevada Public Records Law, warrants that do not contain sensitive information or whose release would not obstruct justice are accessible for public inspection. These records are disseminated by agencies outlined in the table below
