The Superior Court of Rhode Island makes all criminal court records available online. Interested parties can retrieve information with a few quick steps. Visit the State's Criminal Information Database. Input the name of the person whose record is being sought for or the docket number of the case.

Warrants can also be requested through the local Sheriff's Office, where the warrant was issued. Both arrest records and warrants also appear on criminal background checks. Alternatively, Rhode Island also has a most wanted list that is updated regularly and includes fugitives with active warrants for arrest.
