Who Issues Warrants in Greenville
In Illinois an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Greenville that means the Circuit Court of Bond 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.
For Bond County, SearchSystems opened and checked the court records page for the county at circuitclerk.bondcountyil.gov (page title: Bond County Circuit Clerk (IL)), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
Illinois has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
Who Serves Warrants in Greenville
The Bond County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Greenville (filed by the FBI as Greenville Police Department) serve warrants in and around Greenville.
The Donnellson Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Bond County, so its arrests are not broken out for Bond County here.
The agency that serves a warrant from Bond County is whichever one finds the person; an Illinois warrant is valid across Illinois.
Together, the four agencies in Bond County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 2,356 arrests to the FBI that year; arrests on warrants are counted among them, not separately.
Each agency and what it reported is in Greenville arrest records.

The Greenville inmate search guide covers the jail in full.

How to Check for a Warrant in Greenville
The places to check for a warrant from Greenville:
- The court file of the case, through the Circuit Clerk, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The State's Attorney, phone (618) 664-2262, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Bond 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.
Clearing a Warrant from Greenville
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Greenville starts with the Circuit Clerk: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The State's Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at bondcountyil.gov/states-attorney, phone (618) 664-2262.
