CodeRED® delivers the important message through a high-speed telephone calling system to a phone number on the CodeRED® database. City staff will access CodeRED® via a secure portal on the web. A “call area” will be marked identifying street addresses. Telephone numbers will be matched up electronically to these addresses and a pre-recorded message will be sent out via the telephone with information about the incident and possibly instructions for action to be taken.

To receive CodeRED® calls, you will need to register your home or business phone number in the CodeRED® database, especially if you have an unlisted phone number, have changed your phone number or address within the last year, or you use a cellular phone as your home phone. Click Here to Register!

CodeRED® is a geographical based system where street addresses are needed to select the telephone numbers that will receive emergency notification calls. Public databases have been used to collect telephone numbers for existing Racine County homes and businesses and have been placed into the CodeRED® database.

However, sometimes the public databases contain outdated information, thus no one should automatically assume his or her telephone number is included. All individuals and businesses should register, especially if you have an unlisted phone number, have changed your phone number or address within the last year, or you use a cellular phone as your home phone or if you would like email and txt alerts.

The following information is required to add a telephone number into the CodeRED® database:

First and Last name
Address (physical address, no P.O. boxes)
City, State, Zip Code

Primary phone number. (A primary phone number is most likely the identified home phone number.)

Alternate phone number, (Such as a mobile phone, can also be entered and both the primary and alternate line will be contacted in the event of an emergency.

Email Address (Optional if you would like to receive email alerts or register for a free account)

TDD Number (Optional if you would like to receive TDD/TTY formatted alerts)

Cellular number and provider (Optional if you would like to receive text alerts)

The system works with cellular phones but requires a valid street address. When entering information, please fill out all of the screens because the newest data entered will replace the old data.

For those who are hearing impaired the Internet update offers a TDD ONLY option for tone delivery of emergency messages. Messages delivered to phone numbers marked TDD will only be delivered in a TDD/TTY format.

Residents without Internet access may visit any of the public libraries or community centers within the county to use a computer.

Active Warrants

The Warrant Reduction Program is designed to keep Racine safe and fiscally sound. The program is two-fold. First and foremost, citizens with information regarding homicide cases or other violent offenses are encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers of Racine County by calling 888-636-9330. In some cases, rewards will be offered for tips leading to the arrest of violent offenders. Second, to keep our city financially sound, local government officials are currently seeking to recover the large amount of unpaid fines and forfeitures which recently exceeded $6 million. Some felony warrants listed on this website will require in-person appearance only in Circuit Court; however, most warrants may be conveniently cleared in person by paying online at this website or at the police department public service counter (730 Center St., Racine).

To help keep Racine safe and financially sound, area residents are encouraged to contribute to this effort by reporting any information that will assist in locating those listed within this site.

Prior to the online publication of open police records, all existing warrants were manually reviewed for accuracy. Some information, however, may be outdated or involve extenuating circumstances (e.g., deceased subjects, posting of identify theft victims, etc.). Citizens who have questions or concerns regarding potentially outdated or otherwise inaccurate information listed within this site should contact Corrine Dombeck at 262-635-7737.
