Who Issues Warrants in Fremont County
In Colorado an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Fremont County that means the Fremont County District Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $25,000, divorces, probate and juvenile matters; the County Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases and civil cases up to $25,000, 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.
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 clerk of the combined court.

- The court file of the case, through the clerk of the combined court at 719-204-2275, 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.
