Who Issues Warrants in Troy
In Alabama an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Troy that means the Pike County Circuit Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $20,000, divorces and appeals from the district court; the District Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims and preliminary hearings in felony cases, issues its own warrants on the cases before it. A city with a municipal court of its own issues warrants on the tickets and ordinance cases it tries.
A bench warrant follows a missed court date in any of those courts. Whichever kind it is, the warrant is part of the file of the case it was issued in, and the Circuit Clerk keeps that file.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at pike.alacourt.gov (page title: Pike County | Twelfth Judicial Circuit of Alabama), phone (334) 566-5113, 1318 N. Three Notch St., Troy, AL 36081, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026.

Who Serves Warrants in Troy

The FBI's agency list also places one more agency in Pike County: Troy University (campus police); it serves warrants on its own ground.
A warrant issued in Pike County is good anywhere in Alabama, so it is served by whichever agency finds the person, in a traffic stop as often as at the door.

Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Troy Is Held
A person arrested on a warrant and kept in custody goes to the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest. The jail, run by the Pike County Sheriff's Office, held about 75 people on an average day in 2023 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count and has a custody page SearchSystems verified at pikecountyalsheriff.com/inmateRoster. The Troy inmate search guide covers the jail in full.
A person arrested in Troy on a warrant from another county is held at the same jail until that county takes custody.
How to Check for a Warrant in Troy
The places to check for a warrant from Troy:
- The court file of the case, through the Circuit Clerk at (334) 566-5113, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- Alacourt, the statewide online index of Alabama trial court cases, sold by subscription, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The custody page of the Pike County Sheriff's Office at pikecountyalsheriff.com/inmateRoster, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Pike County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's and the court's) is a list of open warrants, so a check means asking the court or the prosecutor about a case by name.
The statewide criminal history kept by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency is not open to the public in Alabama, so it is not a route to a warrant check on someone else.
Clearing a Warrant from Troy
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Troy starts with the Circuit Clerk at (334) 566-5113: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
A missed date in a case before the District Court is handled by that court, not by the Pike County Circuit Court.
