LAS CRUCES, N.M. (KFOX14) \u2014 People in El Paso County with outstanding warrants now have a new way to turn themselves in that officials say is faster and more predictable than being arrested unexpectedly.<\/p>\n
The El Paso County Sheriff\u2019s Office has launched a Warrant Self-Surrender Initiative that offers eligible individuals an expedited booking and processing option at the El Paso County Detention Facility.<\/p>\n
Under the initiative, people can first verify their warrant status by visiting the El Paso County website at www.epcounty.com<\/a>, selecting the Public Records link and then clicking on the Warrant Search tab.<\/p>\n After securing a bond with the bonding company of their choice, participants can report to the El Paso County Detention Facility at 601 E. Overland, Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., to complete the expedited booking and processing.<\/p>\n The sheriff\u2019s office said individuals with active traffic warrants from EPPD or EPSO do not qualify unless prior arrangements have been made to clear them.<\/p>\n The initiative also includes special extended hours from March 23 through March 27, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.<\/p>\n For more information about eligibility, location and hours, the sheriff\u2019s office said people can contact the El Paso County Sheriff\u2019s Office Warrants Section at (915) 273-3762.<\/p>\n RECOMMENDED: Mother, son accused of using bat to attack ex-boyfriend for money in San Elizario<\/a><\/p>\n
