Who Issues Warrants in Red Bluff
In California an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Red Bluff that means the Superior Court of California, County of Tehama, which hears every civil, criminal, family, probate, traffic and juvenile case.
When a defendant misses a court date the judge issues a bench warrant, and either kind of warrant lives in the court file of the case, kept by the Superior Court clerk.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at tehama.courts.ca.gov/online-services (page title: Online Services | Superior Court of California, County of Tehama), phone (530) 527-3946, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.

Who Serves Warrants in Red Bluff
The Tehama County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Red Bluff (filed by the FBI as Red Bluff Police Department) serve warrants in and around Red Bluff.
The FBI's agency list also places one other agency, one state agency and two state police units in Tehama County (the arrest records guide names each one); each serves warrants on its own ground.
A warrant issued in Tehama County is good anywhere in California, so it is served by whichever agency finds the person, in a traffic stop as often as at the door.
Together, the three agencies in Tehama County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 1,738 arrests to the FBI that year; arrests on warrants are counted among them, not separately.

Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Red Bluff 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 Tehama County Sheriff's Office, held about 110 people on an average day in 2025 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count.
A person arrested in Red Bluff on a warrant from another county is held at the same jail until that county takes custody.
How to Check for a Warrant in Red Bluff
Whether a warrant is out from Red Bluff shows in two places:
- The court file of the case, through the Superior Court clerk at (530) 527-3946, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The District Attorney, phone (530) 527-3053, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Tehama County pages SearchSystems verified (the court's and the prosecutor'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 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 Red Bluff
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from Red Bluff that means appearing before the Superior Court of California, County of Tehama, with the case put back on the calendar through the Superior Court clerk.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The District Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at tehama.gov, phone (530) 527-3053.
