Who Issues Warrants in Crawford County
In Georgia an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Crawford County that means the Crawford 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.

Whether a warrant is out from Crawford County shows in two places:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of Superior Court at (478) 310-3603, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.

Not one of the Crawford 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.
