Who Issues Warrants in Moore
In Oklahoma an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Moore that means the Cleveland County District Court, which hears every civil, criminal, family, probate and juvenile case. A city with a 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 Court Clerk.
Statewide, OSCN and ODCR are the free online dockets of every Oklahoma district court.
Who Serves Warrants in Moore
The Cleveland County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Moore (filed by the FBI as Moore Police Department) serve warrants in and around Moore.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Cleveland County: the University of Oklahoma at Norman (campus police); Noble Public Schools (other agency); each serves warrants on its own ground.
The Oklahoma City Police Department is listed by the FBI across four counties including Cleveland County, so its arrests are not broken out for Cleveland County here.
The agency that serves a warrant from Cleveland County is whichever one finds the person; an Oklahoma warrant is valid across Oklahoma.
Together, the five agencies in Cleveland County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 5,833 arrests to the FBI that year; arrests on warrants are counted among them, not separately.
Each agency and what it reported is in Moore arrest records.
Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Moore Is Held

How to Check for a Warrant in Moore
Whether a warrant is out from Moore shows in two places:
- OSCN and ODCR, the free online dockets of every Oklahoma district court, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The District Attorney, phone (405) 321-8268, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Cleveland County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff'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.
Clearing a Warrant from Moore
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from Moore that means appearing before the Cleveland County District Court, with the case put back on the calendar through the Court Clerk.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The District Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at clevelandcountyok.com/176/District-Attorney, phone (405) 321-8268.
