The Sheriff's Fugitive Apprehension Unit is tasked primarily with locating and arresting individuals with outstanding Child Support Warrants. The hard work of the Deputies in this unit has resulted in the arrest of individuals owing hundreds of thousands of dollars to families in the State of Rhode Island.

The Apprehension Unit also works closely with federal and local law enforcement agencies to locate and arrest fugitives wanted for other criminal matters.

If you have information on the whereabouts of any wanted person, please contact us by phone, email or in person at the State Sheriff's Headquarters located at the new Rhode Island Traffic Tribunal.
