Who Issues Warrants in Bartlett
In Illinois an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Bartlett that means the Circuit Court of DuPage County, which hears every civil, criminal, family, probate, traffic and juvenile case.
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 Circuit Clerk.

Illinois has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
