Who Issues Warrants in Siskiyou County
In California an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Siskiyou County that means the Superior Court of California, County of Siskiyou, 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.
California has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.

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.
