A search for Clarke County, Alabama arrest warrants will inevitably take you to at least one government office. Most people prefer to visit the local sheriff’s office when looking for information on arrest records and active warrants. While this is undoubtedly an option, no less than two judicial agencies can also help you when you need to know about arrest orders and other provisions used in a case.

For instance, you could always visit the magistrate’s office when looking for warrant related data. However, make sure that you approach the judge who has the authority to preside in criminal cases. The court of the magistrate is the legal entity that has the powers to issue arrest warrants. The office will undoubtedly have all records about active warrants, search orders, and even bench warrants, subpoenas, etc., issued in varying criminal matters.

In contrast, the county clerk’s office, which handles the court dockets, maintains a record of all cases that enter the area’s judicial system, not just the criminal matters. So, the court clerk’s department can be approached for investigations into civil cases and a warrant search.

On the same lines, the cops will have information on all criminal cases in the county. You will also find a list of the most wanted with the sheriff’s office apart from statistical data about illicit activity in the county.
