Who Issues Warrants in Boulder City
In Nevada an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Boulder City that means the District Court for Clark County, which hears felonies, civil cases over $15,000, divorces, probate and juvenile matters; the Justice Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, evictions and civil cases up to $15,000, issues its own warrants on the cases before it. 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 County Clerk keeps that file.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at cvpublicaccess.co.clark.nv.us/eservices/home.page.2 (page title: NV | Clark County Justice Court Case Search), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026. That page belongs to a lower court, the Justice Court, not to the District Court for Clark County.
Nevada has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
Who Serves Warrants in Boulder City
The agency that reports for Boulder City (filed by the FBI as Boulder City Police Department) serves warrants in and around Boulder City.
The FBI's agency list also places two state agencies, one campus police department and five other agencies in Clark County (the arrest records guide names each one); each serves warrants on its own ground.

Each agency and what it reported is in Boulder City arrest records.

How to Check for a Warrant in Boulder City
The places to check for a warrant from Boulder City:
- The court file of the case, through the County Clerk, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The District Attorney, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the sheriff's office at clarkcountynv.gov, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Clark County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, 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 Nevada Department of Public Safety Records, Communications and Compliance Division is not open to the public in Nevada, so it is not a route to a warrant check on someone else.
Clearing a Warrant from Boulder City
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Boulder City starts with the County Clerk: 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 District Court for Clark County.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The District Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at clarkcountynv.gov.
