Who Issues Warrants in Bound Brook
In New Jersey an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Bound Brook that means the Superior Court of New Jersey, Somerset County, which hears every civil, criminal, family and probate case. A city with a municipal court of its own issues warrants on the tickets and ordinance cases it tries.
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 Superior Court Clerk and the County Clerk keep that file.

How to Check for a Warrant in Bound Brook
The places to check for a warrant from Bound Brook:
- New Jersey Courts Public Access, the Judiciary's free online case search for civil and criminal cases, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The County Prosecutor, phone (908) 575-3300, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Somerset County Sheriff's Office at somersetcountysheriff.com, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Somerset County pages SearchSystems verified (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.
The statewide criminal history kept by the New Jersey State Police is not open to the public in New Jersey, so it is not a route to a warrant check on someone else.

A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Bound Brook starts with the Superior Court Clerk and the County Clerk: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
