Solano County Wanted List
The Solano County Sheriff Most Wanted page is a short list built for public help. It is not a live warrant index. Four entries have stayed up for years: two named men and two unidentified suspects. Each one carries a photo or a drawn sketch. The incidents behind them date to 2006, 2008, 2009, or 2016. The page promises no updates and lists no archive policy, so check the county site for current status before assuming anything.
Every image stays on the official county site. You do not need to copy a photo anywhere to use the list. Open it, read the text, and compare it with what you know. Think of it as a request for help on a few selected cases. The list cannot tell you whether every person with a Solano County warrant appears there. Absence from it proves nothing either way.
Solano County Wanted Fields
The four entries are not alike. Some name a person. Others simply ask the public to identify an unknown suspect. The fields below reflect what those entries contain. Leave a blank field blank rather than filling it from an unofficial profile, since name-only and image-only matches go wrong easily.
| Field | What the Sheriff entry may show |
|---|---|
| Image | An official photograph or a law-enforcement sketch kept on the Sheriff page. |
| Identity | A name for a known subject, or a description when identity is not known. |
| Physical details | Sex, race, height, weight, hair, eyes, and age when supplied. |
| Possible residence | An area associated with the person, not proof of a current address. |
| Alleged incident | A short account of why investigators seek information. |
| Investigator contact | The detective or unit tied to that specific request for assistance. |
Descriptions can age, and a sketch is an investigative aid rather than a confirmed portrait. Compare several facts before calling. Do not post a public accusation, confront anyone, or treat resemblance alone as identification. The safest useful response is a concise report of what was personally observed and where investigators can verify it.
Note: The Sheriff states no publication cadence, so an old entry must be confirmed rather than assumed active.
Use Solano County Notices Safely
Treat the official page as a careful recognition tool. Private investigation is not its purpose. Keep the county page open while you report, so the right person, sketch, incident, and investigator can be named without guesswork.
- Open the Sheriff wanted page and read the complete entry, not just the image or headline.
- Check whether the entry names a person or asks for help identifying an unknown suspect.
- Compare more than one listed detail with information known first-hand. Do not rely on resemblance alone.
- Move away from the person or place if contact could create risk. Do not follow, detain, or approach anyone.
- Call Sheriff Dispatch or Investigations and state which official entry prompted the report.
- For a later custody check, use the county booking and roster paths explained on the Solano County Busted Mugshots home page.
After an arrest, different tools answer different questions. The current-custody roster and the seven-day booking log track who is in county custody now. A wanted entry can end in a county booking, or it can resolve through another agency or the courts. The wanted page is not a custody record. For later status, confirm with whichever agency holds the record.
Solano County Tip Contacts
The Sheriff posts direct county contacts right on the wanted page. That is all it promises. No reward, Crime Stoppers payment, or anonymous tip line appears there. The page describes no "Warrant Wednesday" program either. Do not attach those features to Solano County without an official statement backing them.
Solano County Sheriff’s Office
Dispatch: 707-421-7090, available 24 hours
Investigations: 707-784-7050
When an entry names an investigator, use that person.
Facing an immediate threat? Call emergency services. Otherwise, use the listed Sheriff lines and stick to what you know firsthand. A useful tip separates what the caller saw from what was heard secondhand, which lets the agency decide whether it fits an active investigation.
Check Solano County Warrants
A specific warrant question starts with the Solano Superior Court, not the wanted list. The Sheriff's Records & Warrants Bureau points general users to the court for bench-warrant status. The county has no public Sheriff name-search warrant portal. The Records & Warrants line can route a call. It does not offer instant warrant certification.
The Solano Superior Court portal requires an account. Search by case number when you have one. A name search needs a first and last name of two or more characters plus a date range. Updates run daily. General-public use is capped at 45 cases per day. Confidential matters and very fresh filings may not show, and the electronic data is not the official court record.
- Create or sign in to a court portal account.
- Search the known case number, or use the person’s name with a useful date range.
- Open the matching criminal case and review its register of actions for bench-warrant status.
- Confirm identity and the hearing branch. A shared name is not enough.
- When accuracy has legal consequences, contact the court or a lawyer for a current official answer.
- Resolve a possible warrant through counsel and the court. Do not rely on social posts or advice about avoiding contact.
For a formal records route, the Sheriff Records & Warrants Bureau sits at 530 Union Avenue, Suite 100, in Fairfield. Call 707-784-7010. Or visit the lobby Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., excluding holidays. Ask which office holds the exact record. Do not assume the Sheriff can certify a court warrant.
Solano County Warrant Court Branches
Knowing which branch hears a case saves a lot of dead ends. Fairfield, Suisun City, Vacaville, Dixon, and Rio Vista matters usually carry F, FC, FCR, or M identifiers. Vallejo and Benicia cases tend toward V, VC, VCR, F, or M. The records live at the branch where the hearing happened. That means the Hall of Justice at 600 Union Avenue in Fairfield for some cases. Others belong to the Vallejo branch at 321 Tuolumne Street. Both windows handle record searches Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
When a portal match will not resolve, Form 4021 lets a person request a records search and copies from the right branch. The county's official Records & Warrants page lists the Sheriff contact and its service categories for anyone taking that fallback route.
The bureau contact above helps with Sheriff records. For a bench warrant, though, the court itself is still the stated search path.
Solano County Warrant Types
The word "warrant" covers several different records. Some are true warrants, and others are related holds. Where each one comes from, and how to follow up safely, depends entirely on the type. Keeping the official Solano County paths separate matters here. The Most Wanted list, for instance, was never built as a universal warrant search.
| Record type | What it means here | Best Solano path |
|---|---|---|
| Bench warrant | A court-linked warrant status recorded in a criminal case. | Search the Superior Court portal, then confirm with the court or counsel. |
| Arrest warrant | A judicial command associated with an alleged offense, which may not appear on the selective wanted page. | Use the known case and court; ask Records & Warrants where the official record is held. |
| Outside warrant | A warrant from another agency that can appear among public arrest facts after booking. | Identify the issuing agency from the booking or court record and verify there. |
| Parole or probation hold | A custody hold listed with arrest information, not the same thing as a new warrant. | Confirm through the responsible court, supervision agency, or official custody record. |
Search results shift over time. A court can recall a warrant. An agency can serve it. A case can simply move forward, and a copied entry may lag behind all of that. Anyone worried about personal status should go through a lawyer and the responsible court. Silence on a wanted page or a third-party claim means nothing. The court portal source starts with registration and login rather than a public Sheriff warrant box. That tells you where the real answer lives.
That split is the heart of it. The court case holds the warrant status and everything that follows, while the Sheriff list simply asks the public for help on a few selected matters.
Note: Court portal data is informational and uncertified, so confirm a consequential warrant question with the responsible court.
