Who Issues Warrants in Grant County
In Kansas an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Grant County that means the Grant 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.

How to Check for a Warrant in Grant County
The places to check for a warrant from Grant County:
- 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 620.356.3155, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Grant County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff'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 Grant County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Grant County starts with the Clerk of the District 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 County Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at grantcoks.org/83/County-Attorney, phone 620.356.3155.
