Franklin County Warrant Records Franklin County Warrant Records

This page routes Franklin County warrant questions to the offices that can actually answer them. The clerk of the issuing court confirms what a docket shows. The Sheriff's Office answers for records in its custody and for process it serves. A police department answers for its own reports. We run a private site, so the answers do not come from us, and the routing below is the fastest way to reach the office that holds the file.

This Is Not a Government or Law Enforcement Office. We cannot confirm whether a warrant exists, clear or recall one, post bond, arrange a surrender or give legal advice. For any of those, contact the issuing court or the sheriff's office directly.

Most calls fit one of these four routes:

  • Whether a warrant is open: the clerk of the court that issued it, which for a local Franklin County case is usually Greenfield District Court at 413-774-5533 or cmgreenfielddc@jud.state.ma.us
  • A felony or countywide case: the Franklin County Superior Court clerk at 413-775-7400 or Franklinclerksoffice@jud.state.ma.us
  • A record held by the jail: the Sheriff's records access office at 160 Elm Street, Greenfield, MA 01301, records@fcso-ma.us or 413-774-4014 extension 2191
  • A police report or incident file: the department that made the arrest, such as Greenfield Police at 321 High Street, 413-773-5411
  • Service of a warrant or capias: the Sheriff's Civil Process Division at 101 Munson Street, Suite 124, Greenfield, MA 01301, 413-774-3235 or process@fcso-ma.us, weekdays 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
  • Clearing a warrant: a licensed Massachusetts attorney, working with the issuing court on a recall, an appearance or a bond

The main courthouse complex sits at 43 Hope Street, Greenfield, MA 01301, and most counters there keep weekday hours from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Call before you travel, because the Probate and Family register opens earlier and some offices close for court business.

One caution on routing. The Sheriff's records page sends police-report requests to the arresting agency and court questions to the court, so a request sent to the wrong office usually comes back as a referral rather than a record.
