California's Most Wanted Fugitives
We invite you to visit this site periodically and review the state's Most Wanted Fugitives bulletins to help law enforcement apprehend dangerous fugitives by alerting law enforcement when you think you may have seen one of the fugitives on the Most Wanted list. If you have any information on a featured fugitive or other fugitives, we urge you to contact the Bureau of Investigation and Intelligence, Intelligence Operations Center (IOC) immediately.
The Wanted Persons System (WPS) was established in 1971 as the first online system for the California Department of Justice (DOJ). The WPS system provides information on arrest warrants and is used to alert law enforcement agencies of the possibility that a suspect may be a fugitive. This information may help to ensure the safety of officers who are attempting to apprehend fugitives.
In 1996, the Legislature authorized the California Department of Justice to maintain a publicly accessible Internet directory of wanted fugitives. This is not a comprehensive directory of all persons wanted for crimes in California.
