Who Issues Warrants in Kanabec County
In Minnesota an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Kanabec County that means the Kanabec County District Court, which hears every civil, criminal, family, probate and juvenile case.
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 court administrator keeps that file.

How to Check for a Warrant in Kanabec County
Whether a warrant is out from Kanabec County shows in three places:
- Minnesota Court Records Online, the Minnesota Judicial Branch's free statewide case search, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The County Attorney, phone (320) 679-6425, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Kanabec County Sheriff's Office at jail.kanabec.org/inmatelocator, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Kanabec County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff'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.
