Who Issues Warrants in Rensselaer
In Indiana an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Rensselaer that means the Jasper Circuit and Superior Courts, which hear every civil, criminal, family, probate and juvenile case. A city with a city and town 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 the Circuit Court.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at in.gov/courts/local/jasper-county (page title: Indiana Judicial Branch: Jasper County), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.

How to Check for a Warrant in Rensselaer
Whether a warrant is out from Rensselaer shows in four places:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of the Circuit Court, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- Mycase.IN.gov, the Indiana courts' free statewide case search, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The Prosecuting Attorney, phone 219-866-4930, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Jasper County Sheriff's Office at jasperso.com/inmate-roster, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Jasper 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 Rensselaer
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Rensselaer starts with the Clerk of the Circuit Court: 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 Prosecuting Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at jaspercountyin.gov, phone 219-866-4930.
