Who Issues Warrants in Windham County
In Vermont an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Windham County that means the Vermont Superior Court, Windham Unit, which hears every civil, criminal, family and probate case, each in its own division; the Judicial Bureau, which takes traffic tickets and other civil violations, 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 each division.
