Who Issues Warrants in Norcross
In Georgia an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Norcross that means the Gwinnett 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.
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 Superior Court.

Who Serves Warrants in Norcross
The Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office, the Gwinnett County Police Department and the agency that reports for Norcross (filed by the FBI as Norcross Police Department) serve warrants in and around Norcross.
The FBI's agency list also places one other agency, one state police unit and two campus police departments in Gwinnett County (the arrest records guide names each one); each serves warrants on its own ground.
The Auburn Police Department, the Doraville Police Department, the Loganville Police Department and one more are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Gwinnett County, so their arrests are not broken out for Gwinnett County here.

Together, the eight agencies in Gwinnett County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 11,748 arrests to the FBI that year; arrests on warrants are counted among them, not separately.
Each agency and what it reported is in Norcross arrest records.
Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Norcross 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 Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office, held about 600 people on an average day in 2025 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count and has a jail page SearchSystems verified at gwinnettcounty.com/government/departments/sheriff/inmate-services. The Norcross inmate search guide covers the jail in full.
A person arrested in Norcross on a warrant from another county is held at the same jail until that county takes custody.
How to Check for a Warrant in Norcross
Whether a warrant is out from Norcross shows in two places:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of Superior Court at 770-619-6100, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The District Attorney, phone 770.822.8400, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Gwinnett 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 Norcross
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Norcross starts with the Clerk of Superior Court at 770-619-6100: 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 Gwinnett County Superior Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The District Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at gwinnettcounty.com, phone 770.822.8400.
