Who Issues Warrants in Westfield
In Indiana an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Westfield that means the Hamilton 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.
A bench warrant follows a missed court date in any of those courts. Whichever kind it is, the warrant is part of the file of the case it was issued in, and the Clerk of the Circuit Court keeps that file.
