Who Issues Warrants in Grand County
In Colorado an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Grand County that means the Grand 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.
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 clerk of the combined court keeps that file.

How to Check for a Warrant in Grand County
The places to check for a warrant from Grand County:
- The court file of the case, through the clerk of the combined court at 970-725-3357, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The District Attorney, phone 970-725-3371, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Grand County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, 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.
Clearing a Warrant from Grand County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Grand County starts with the clerk of the combined court at 970-725-3357: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
A missed date in a case before the County Court is handled by that court, not by the Grand County District Court.
