Who Issues Warrants in Leavenworth County
In Kansas an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Leavenworth County 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.
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 Leavenworth County
The places to check for a warrant from Leavenworth County:
- 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.
