Marion County arrest warrants are essentially orders from the judiciary to the county sheriff’s office to present offenders in court to stand trial. However, because the court does not take on investigative tasks, it must rely on the police for information in a specific case. This is offered by filing a petition with the tribunal for an active warrant.

The court services division of the Marion County sheriff’s office handles this job after assimilating all the evidence collected in a case by the detectives. The writ is used to meet a strict law about the probable cause to be followed when issuing warrants. The sitting magistrate is legally bound to ensure that the police have enough proof to hold the alleged offender culpable of the crime before he signs an active warrant.

A judicial order of this nature does not go out of effect once released, nor is it recalled. In fact, the only time when an outstanding warrant from Marion County can be dismissed is when the probable cause no longer exists against the person in question, and this can only happen when another individual is accused of committing the crime.

While only the magistrate and sheriff’s offices are involved in the process of warrant issue, the county clerk’s department is also brought into the equation because this agency acts as the official records keeper for the judiciary. They maintain the court dockets for Marion; these are written explanations of what went on during the trial. So, any of these agencies can be contacted when looking for a warrant search or arrest records from Marion.
