The court of the magistrate issues active warrants, so what better place can there possibly be for getting a Neshoba County arrest warrant search done than the court of the sitting judge? Like the police, the judiciary plays an active role in the issue of warrants for arrests. In fact, the signature of the judge is what puts an active warrant into effect.

The magistrate will hear out the police officers who investigated the criminal matter and will deliberate on the information contained in the petition filed by the sheriff’s office. In fact, only after the judge is convinced of reasonable grounds being there for suspecting the alleged offender’s involvement will an arrest warrant be issued in Neshoba County.

The magistrate orders police officers to apprehend the accused and bring him before the court to stand trial. Cops, although the petitioners of such orders for arrests, have little say when it comes to serving the order. This means that they cannot decline to execute any judicial instruments, be it an active warrant or a search order.

The county clerk’s office has its own part to play in the process. They maintain information on the issue of warrants as well as arrests. If you are wondering how they get details on detentions, you will need to look closer at what happens after the warrant is served.

While the offender cools his heels in a local holding cell, the original outstanding warrant, which has already been served at this point, is sent to the judiciary, and that is how this information reaches the court dockets database as well as the repository maintained by the magistrate’s office. The agencies mentioned herein work out of:
