Who Issues Warrants in New Baltimore
In Michigan an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For New Baltimore that means the Macomb 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.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at macombgov.org/departments/clerk-register-deeds/court-records (page title: Court records), phone 586-469-5353, 40 North Main (1st Floor), Mount Clemens, MI 48043, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.

Who Serves Warrants in New Baltimore
The Macomb County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for New Baltimore (filed by the FBI as New Baltimore Police Department) serve warrants in and around New Baltimore.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Macomb County: the Macomb County State Police (state police); Macomb Community College (campus police); the Stony Creek Metropark Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority (other agency); each serves warrants on its own ground.
The Grosse Pointe Shores Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Macomb County, so its arrests are not broken out for Macomb County here.
A warrant issued in Macomb County is good anywhere in Michigan, so it is served by whichever agency finds the person, in a traffic stop as often as at the door.
Together, the 16 agencies in Macomb County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 12,850 arrests to the FBI that year; arrests on warrants are counted among them, not separately.
Each agency and what it reported is in New Baltimore arrest records.
Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from New Baltimore 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 Macomb County Sheriff's Office, held about 910 people on an average day in 2024 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count and has a custody page SearchSystems verified at macombgov.org/departments/sheriffs-office/locate-inmate, phone 586-469-5151. The New Baltimore inmate search guide covers the jail in full.
A person arrested in New Baltimore on a warrant from another county is held at the same jail until that county takes custody.
How to Check for a Warrant in New Baltimore
Whether a warrant is out from New Baltimore shows in four places:
- The court file of the case, through the County Clerk at 586-469-5353, 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 586-469-5350, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Macomb County Sheriff's Office at macombgov.org, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Macomb County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court'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 New Baltimore
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from New Baltimore starts with the County Clerk at 586-469-5353: 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 Macomb County Circuit Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The Prosecuting Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at macombgov.org/departments/prosecutors-office, phone 586-469-5350.
