5-07/130.00 - Warrant Notices



The Countywide Warrant System (CWS) automatically generates a variety of notices to the following:

  • Filing agency - The agency that filed the case with the Court;

  • Assigned agency - The agency to which the service of the warrant has been assigned and programmed accordingly.  Superior Court arrest warrants will be assigned to the agency reflected as the filing agency.  As needed, Records and Identification Bureau (RIB) will manually assign dependency and delinquency juvenile Superior Court warrants; and

  • Geocoded agency - The agency that has police jurisdiction over the warrant subject's home address or the warrant subject's business address.  If the warrant contains no address, or if the address cannot be geocoded, the filing agency will be reflected as the geocoded agency.

Filing, assigned and geocoded agencies are designed by ORI.
