Who Issues Warrants in Grandville
In Michigan an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Grandville that means the Kent County Circuit Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $25,000, divorces and family matters; the District Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims and civil cases up to $25,000, 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 County Clerk keeps that file.
For Kent County, SearchSystems opened and checked the court records page for the county at kentcountymi.gov/1036/Search-Court-Records (page title: Search Court Records | Kent County, MI), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.

Who Serves Warrants in Grandville
The Kent County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Grandville (filed by the FBI as Grandville Police Department) serve warrants in and around Grandville.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Kent County: the Kent County State Police (state police); Grand Rapids Community College (campus police); Gerald R. Ford International Airport (other agency); each serves warrants on its own ground.
The agency that serves a warrant from Kent County is whichever one finds the person; an Michigan warrant is valid across Michigan.
Together, the nine agencies in Kent County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 13,381 arrests to the FBI that year; arrests on warrants are counted among them, not separately.
Each agency and what it reported is in Grandville arrest records.
Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Grandville 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 Kent County Sheriff's Office, held about 940 people on an average day in 2024 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count and has a custody page SearchSystems verified at eisjailviewer.kentcountymi.gov. The Grandville inmate search guide covers the jail in full.
A person arrested in Grandville on a warrant from another county is held at the same jail until that county takes custody.
How to Check for a Warrant in Grandville
The places to check for a warrant from Grandville:
- The court file of the case, through the County Clerk, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- MiCOURT Case Search, the Michigan courts' statewide case search; not every court has joined, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The Prosecuting Attorney, phone 616-632-6710, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Kent County Sheriff's Office at eisjailviewer.kentcountymi.gov, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Kent 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 Grandville
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Grandville starts with the County Clerk: 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 Kent County Circuit Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The Prosecuting Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at kentcountymi.gov/1103/Prosecutors-Office, phone 616-632-6710.
