For an arrest warrant to become a part of the official warrant records in Etowah County, Alabama, it will need to become an active warrant. Arrest warrants gain the “active” status once a sitting judge decides to sign the paper after studying a conclusive array of incriminating evidence. This evidence must point to probable cause and help the judge determine the need for an arrest.

Once these steps are successfully taken, the duty of catching and incarcerating the individuals whose names are on the arrest warrant falls under the responsibility of the Etowah County Sherriff’s department and into the hands of the local law enforcement officers here. If they manage to arrest the criminals, they will be able to incarcerate them inside the local jail. If they fail to do so promptly, the arrest warrants that were once active will become outstanding warrants.
