Who Issues Warrants in Dodge County
In Nebraska an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Dodge County that means the Dodge County District Court, which hears felonies, the larger civil cases and divorces; the County Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, probate, small claims and juvenile matters, issues its own warrants on the cases before it.
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 the District Court.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at nebraskajudicial.gov/courts/dodge-county-court (page title: Dodge County Court | Nebraska Judicial Branch), phone 402-727-2779, 428 North Broad Street Fremont NE 68025, Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026.
