Who Issues Warrants in Menomonie
In Wisconsin an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Menomonie that means the Dunn 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 dunncountywi.gov/clerkofcourts (page title: Clerk of Courts | Dunn County, WI), phone 800-362-9082, 400 Eau Claire St Eau Claire WI 54701, Wednesday of each month from 5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m., which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.

How to Check for a Warrant in Menomonie
Whether a warrant is out from Menomonie shows in four places:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of Circuit Court at 800-362-9082, 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.
- The District Attorney, phone (715) 232-1687, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Dunn County Sheriff's Office at dunncountywi.gov/index.asp, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Dunn 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.
