Active Warrants and Walk-Through If you have an active warrant in South Florida, Bail Bond Release Center can assist you in having that cleared. You can check for warrants that have been issued through any PBC Sheriffs Department by clicking here. In order to have an active warrant lifted, the accused must appear at the jail for a self-surrender. This is called a Walk Through, when you turn yourself in with a bondsman there to post a bond so your stay is as short as possible. A representative from our bail bonds office will accompany you to the jail where we will go to the bonding desk to begin the walk-through. The officer will check for active warrants in both FCIC and NCIC (the Florida Crime Information Center and National Crime Information Center). Once a warrant is found you are considered in custody while the officer waits for confirmation from the originating agency. During the walkthrough, the officer will be asking you questions about your personal information, taking your fingerprints, and booking photos. Once the warrant has been verified, the officer will accept our bond and lift the warrant out of the system. You will be given a copy of your bond that contains your first court date. It is important to keep this copy for your records and bring it with you when appearing in court. Alleviate the fear of being arrested by setting up a walk-through with the Bail Bond Release Center today. Avoid the embarrassment of being arrested, being placed in handcuffs, and taken to jail. With a walkthrough, you do not have to change into the jail stripes and are in and out of jail quickly.
