Who Issues Warrants in Alexandria
In Kentucky an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Alexandria that means the Campbell Circuit Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $5,000, divorces and appeals from the district court; the District Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims, probate and juvenile matters, issues its own warrants on the cases before it.
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 Circuit Court Clerk keeps that file.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at campbellcountyclerk.ky.gov/records-2 (page title: Records | Campbell County Clerk's Office), phone (866) 652-0111, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026.
Kentucky has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
Who Serves Warrants in Alexandria
The Campbell County Sheriff's Office, the Campbell County Police Department and the agency that reports for Alexandria (filed by the FBI as Alexandria Police Department) serve warrants in and around Alexandria.
The FBI's agency list also places one more agency in Campbell County: Northern Kentucky University (campus police); it serves warrants on its own ground.
A warrant issued in Campbell County is good anywhere in Kentucky, so it is served by whichever agency finds the person, in a traffic stop as often as at the door.
Together, the 11 agencies in Campbell County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 3,184 arrests to the FBI that year; arrests on warrants are counted among them, not separately.
Each agency and what it reported is in Alexandria arrest records.
Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Alexandria 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 Campbell County Sheriff's Office, held about 400 people on an average day so far in 2026 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count.
A person arrested in Alexandria on a warrant from another county is held at the same jail until that county takes custody.
How to Check for a Warrant in Alexandria
The place to check for a warrant from Alexandria is the court file of the case, through the Circuit Court Clerk at (866) 652-0111, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
Not one of the Campbell County pages SearchSystems verified (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 Alexandria
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Alexandria starts with the Circuit Court Clerk at (866) 652-0111: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
A missed date in a case before the District Court is handled by that court, not by the Campbell Circuit Court.
