Who Issues Warrants in Ocoee
In Florida an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Ocoee that means the Orange 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.
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 Circuit Court and Comptroller keep that file.
Florida has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
Who Serves Warrants in Ocoee
The Orange County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Ocoee (filed by the FBI as Ocoee Police Department) serve warrants in and around Ocoee.
The FBI's agency list also places seven state agencies, one campus police department, one other agency and one state police unit in Orange County (the arrest records guide names each one); each serves warrants on its own ground.
The agency that serves a warrant from Orange County is whichever one finds the person; an Florida warrant is valid across Florida.
Together, the two agencies in Orange County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 17,154 arrests to the FBI that year; arrests on warrants are counted among them, not separately.
Each agency and what it reported is in Ocoee arrest records.
Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Ocoee Is Held
A person arrested on a warrant and kept in custody goes to the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest. The jail, run by the Orange County Sheriff's Office, held about 2,960 people on an average day so far in 2026 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count and has a jail page SearchSystems verified at netapps.ocfl.net/BestJail/Home/Inmates, phone (407) 836-3400.

A person arrested in Ocoee on a warrant from another county is held at the same jail until that county takes custody.
How to Check for a Warrant in Ocoee
Not one of the Orange County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff'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 Ocoee
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Ocoee starts with the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller: 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 Orange County Circuit Court.
