Who Issues Warrants in El Segundo
In California an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For El Segundo that means the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, which hears every civil, criminal, family, probate, traffic and juvenile case.
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 Superior Court clerk keeps that file.
For Los Angeles County, SearchSystems opened and checked the court records page for the county at lacourt.ca.gov/pages/lp/access-a-case/tp/re-acc-search-for-case-by-... (page title: Superior Court of Los Angeles County), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
California has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
Who Serves Warrants in El Segundo
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for El Segundo (filed by the FBI as El Segundo Police Department) serve warrants in and around El Segundo.
The FBI's agency list also places 14 state police units, ten campus police departments, five other agencies and one state agency in Los Angeles County (the arrest records guide names each one); each serves warrants on its own ground.
The agency that serves a warrant from Los Angeles County is whichever one finds the person; a California warrant is valid across California.
Together, the 47 agencies in Los Angeles County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 111,326 arrests to the FBI that year; arrests on warrants are counted among them, not separately.
Each agency and what it reported is in El Segundo arrest records.
Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from El Segundo 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 Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office, held about 12,780 people on an average day in 2025 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count and has a custody page SearchSystems verified at locator.lacounty.gov/lac/Location/3069210/los-angeles-county-sherif..., phone (213) 473-6100. The El Segundo inmate search guide covers the jail in full.
A person arrested in El Segundo on a warrant from another county is held at the same jail until that county takes custody.
How to Check for a Warrant in El Segundo
Whether a warrant is out from El Segundo shows in three places:
- The court file of the case, through the Superior Court clerk, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The District Attorney, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office at locator.lacounty.gov, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Los Angeles County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court's, the prosecutor's and the records request page) 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 California Department of Justice is not open to the public in California, so it is not a route to a warrant check on someone else.
Clearing a Warrant from El Segundo
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from El Segundo starts with the Superior Court clerk: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The District Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at da.lacounty.gov.
