Who Issues Warrants in Pittsburg
In Kansas an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Pittsburg that means the Crawford 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.
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 District Court keeps that file.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at crawfordcountykansas.org/court-case-info.html (page title: Court Case Info | CRAWFORD COUNTY, KS), phone 620-724-6115, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026.

Who Serves Warrants in Pittsburg
The Crawford County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Pittsburg (filed by the FBI as Pittsburg Police Department) serve warrants in and around Pittsburg.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Crawford County: Pittsburg State University (campus police); the Kansas Crossing Casino Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission (state agency); each serves warrants on its own ground.
The agency that serves a warrant from Crawford County is whichever one finds the person; a Kansas warrant is valid across Kansas.
Together, the four agencies in Crawford County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 1,142 arrests to the FBI that year; arrests on warrants are counted among them, not separately.
Each agency and what it reported is in Pittsburg arrest records.
Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Pittsburg 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 Crawford County Sheriff's Office, held about 110 people on an average day in 2022 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count and has a jail page SearchSystems verified at crawfordcountysheriff.org/inmates. The Pittsburg inmate search guide covers the jail in full.
A person arrested in Pittsburg on a warrant from another county is held at the same jail until that county takes custody.
How to Check for a Warrant in Pittsburg
Whether a warrant is out from Pittsburg shows in three places:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of the District Court at 620-724-6115, 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 County Attorney, phone (620) 724-6780, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Crawford 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 Pittsburg
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from Pittsburg that means appearing before the Crawford County District Court, with the case put back on the calendar through the Clerk of the District Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The County Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at crawfordcountykansas.org/county-attorney.html, phone (620) 724-6780.
