Who Issues Warrants in Lansing
In Kansas an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Lansing that means the Leavenworth County District Court, which hears every civil, criminal, family, probate and juvenile case. 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 the District Court.

The Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Lansing (filed by the FBI as Lansing Police Department) serve warrants in and around Lansing.

Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Lansing Is Held
A person arrested on a warrant and kept in custody goes to the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest. The jail, run by the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office, held about 110 people on an average day in 2024 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count and has a custody page SearchSystems verified at lvsheriff.org/inmate-roster/filters/current/booking_time=desc/1. The Lansing inmate search guide covers the jail in full.
A person arrested in Lansing on a warrant from another county is held at the same jail until that county takes custody.
How to Check for a Warrant in Lansing
Whether a warrant is out from Lansing shows in three places:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of the District Court at (913) 684-0716, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- Kansas District Court Public Access Portal, the Kansas courts' statewide case search, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The custody page of the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office at lvsheriff.org, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Leavenworth County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court'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 Lansing
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from Lansing that means appearing before the Leavenworth County District Court, with the case put back on the calendar through the Clerk of the District Court.
