Who Issues Warrants in Mableton
In Georgia an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Mableton that means the Cobb County Superior Court, which hears felonies, divorces, land title cases and civil cases without a dollar limit; the State Court and Magistrate Court issue their own warrants on the cases before them. 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 Superior Court keeps that file.
For Cobb County, SearchSystems opened and checked the court records page for the county at cobbcounty.gov/magistrate-court/magistrate-court-judicial-records-s... (page title: Magistrate Court Judicial Records Search | Cobb County Georgia), phone (770) 528-8900, 32 Waddell Street Marietta, GA 30090, Monday - Friday: 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026. That page belongs to a lower court, the State Court and Magistrate Court, not to the Cobb County Superior Court.
Georgia has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
Who Serves Warrants in Mableton
The Cobb County Sheriff's Office, the Cobb County Police Department and the agencies that report for Marietta, Smyrna, Kennesaw, Acworth, Powder Springs and Austell serve warrants in and around Mableton.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Cobb County: Kennesaw State University (campus police); Cobb County Board of Education (other agency); the State Patrol at Marietta (state police); each serves warrants on its own ground.
A warrant issued in Cobb County is good anywhere in Georgia, so it is served by whichever agency finds the person, in a traffic stop as often as at the door.
Together, the eight agencies in Cobb County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 10,533 arrests to the FBI that year; arrests on warrants are counted among them, not separately.
Each agency and what it reported is in Mableton arrest records.
Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Mableton Is Held

The Mableton inmate search guide covers the jail in full.

How to Check for a Warrant in Mableton
Whether a warrant is out from Mableton shows in two places:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of Superior Court at (770) 528-8900, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The District Attorney, phone (770) 528-3080, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Cobb 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 Mableton
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Mableton starts with the Clerk of Superior Court at (770) 528-8900: 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 State Court and Magistrate Court is handled by that court, not by the Cobb County Superior Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The District Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at cobbcounty.gov/district-attorney, phone (770) 528-3080.
