Who Issues Warrants in Randolph Town
In Massachusetts an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Randolph Town that means the Norfolk County Superior Court, which hears felonies and civil cases over $50,000; the District Court and Boston Municipal Court, which take misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims and civil cases up to $50,000, issue their own warrants on the cases before them.
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 Courts.
For Norfolk County, SearchSystems opened and checked the court records page for the county at mass.gov/locations/norfolk-county-superior-court (page title: Norfolk County Superior Court), phone (781) 326-1600, 650 High Street, Dedham, MA 02026, Monday - Friday: 8:30 am-4:30 pm, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.

How to Check for a Warrant in Randolph Town
The places to check for a warrant from Randolph Town:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of Courts at (781) 326-1600, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- Masscourts.org, the Massachusetts Trial Court's free online case search, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The District Attorney, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the sheriff's office at norfolksheriffsoffice.com, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Norfolk County pages SearchSystems verified (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 Randolph Town
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Randolph Town starts with the Clerk of Courts at (781) 326-1600: 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 and Boston Municipal Court is handled by that court, not by the Norfolk County Superior Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The District Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at nfkda.com/prosecution.html.
