Who Issues Warrants in Lassen County
In California an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Lassen County that means the Superior Court of California, County of Lassen, 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.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at lassen.courts.ca.gov (page title: Superior Court of California | County of Lassen), phone (530) 251-8205, 2610 Riverside Drive, Susanville, CA 96130, Monday - Friday: 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
