In Kiowa County, OK, arrest warrant searches can be started by visiting the local justice agencies. In fact, all state departments that are in any way involved in the issue of active warrants will keep and offer information on these legal directives. So, it would help to know a little about the process used to release these detention directives before you launch your search.

In chronological order, the police department comes in first when talking about arrest warrants because the police investigate all criminal occurrences and file the petitions for the issue of all Kiowa County active warrants. This is the agency that conveys information about the commissioning of a crime and the evidence collected against the perpetrator to the judiciary.

These details are studied by the sitting judge, who has the legal obligation to ascertain that the proof against the suspect is enough to prove to anybody of sound mental faculty that the crime was indeed commissioned by the accused. Once probable cause has been ascertained, the magistrate signs the active warrant without further ado, putting it into effect.

While the judge is deliberating on the evidence and the police are busy trying to ensure that the witnesses are lined up in case their testimony is required, the county clerk’s office performs the vital function of recording information. So, along with the police and the court, they also have details on outstanding warrants and arrest records from Kiowa County.
