Who Issues Warrants in Hudson
In Wisconsin an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Hudson that means the St. Croix County Circuit 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.
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 Clerk of Circuit Court keeps that file.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at sccwi.gov/292/Clerk-of-Courts (page title: Clerk of Courts | St. Croix County, WI), phone 715-386-4630, 1101 Carmichael Rd Suite 1520 Hudson, WI 54016, Monday - Friday 8 am until 4:30 pm, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.

How to Check for a Warrant in Hudson
Whether a warrant is out from Hudson shows in two places:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of Circuit Court at 715-386-4630, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- Wisconsin Circuit Court Access, the free statewide case search of every circuit court, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
Not one of the St. Croix County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's and the court's) 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 Hudson
