Who Issues Warrants in Glassboro
In New Jersey an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Glassboro that means the Superior Court of New Jersey, Gloucester 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.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at nj.gov/state/archives/catcglclerk.html (page title: Gloucester County | Clerk's Office, Courts and Miscellaneous), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.

How to Check for a Warrant in Glassboro
Whether a warrant is out from Glassboro shows in three places:
- The court file of the case, through the Superior Court Clerk and the County Clerk, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- 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 856-384-5500, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Gloucester County pages SearchSystems verified (the court's, 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.
Clearing a Warrant from Glassboro
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from Glassboro that means appearing before the Superior Court of New Jersey, Gloucester County, with the case put back on the calendar through the Superior Court Clerk and the County Clerk.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The County Prosecutor's page SearchSystems verified is at gloucestercountynj.gov, phone 856-384-5500.
