Who Issues Warrants in Livingston
In Montana an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Livingston that means the Park County District Court, which hears felonies, civil cases, divorces, probate and juvenile matters; the Justice Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases and small claims, issues its own warrants on the cases before it. A city with a city and municipal court of its own issues warrants on the tickets and ordinance cases it tries.
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 District Court.

Who Serves Warrants in Livingston

Each agency and what it reported is in Livingston arrest records.
Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Livingston 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 Park County Sheriff's Office, held about 19 people on an average day in 2019 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count and has a custody page SearchSystems verified at parkcountymt.gov/Government-Departments/Sheriff-s-Office/Inmates-Ho..., phone (406) 222-4100. The Livingston inmate search guide covers the jail in full.
A person arrested in Livingston on a warrant from another county is held at the same jail until that county takes custody.
How to Check for a Warrant in Livingston
Whether a warrant is out from Livingston shows in two places:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of District Court at 406.222.4125, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The custody page of the Park County Sheriff's Office at parkcountymt.gov, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Park County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's and the court'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 Livingston
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Livingston starts with the Clerk of District Court at 406.222.4125: 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 Justice Court is handled by that court, not by the Park County District Court.
