Who Issues Warrants in Cutler Bay
In Florida an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Cutler Bay that means the Miami-Dade County Circuit Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $50,000, divorces, probate and juvenile matters; the County Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims and civil cases up to $50,000, issues its own warrants on the cases before it.
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 Circuit Court and Comptroller.

How to Check for a Warrant in Cutler Bay
Whether a warrant is out from Cutler Bay shows in three places:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The State Attorney, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Miami-Dade County Police Department at miamidade.gov, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Miami-Dade County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court's, the prosecutor's and the records request page) 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 Cutler Bay
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from Cutler Bay that means appearing before the Miami-Dade County Circuit Court or the County Court, with the case put back on the calendar through the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller.
A missed date in a case before the County Court is handled by that court, not by the Miami-Dade County Circuit Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The State Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at miamisao.com.
