What is an Active Arrest Warrant?
An Active Warrant or Arrest Warrant, is an order issued by law enforcement to locate and arrest a subject that may be accused of any number of criminal offences. When the subject is found, he or she is normally arrested and jailed, pending a visit to the judge. Minor crimes can be issued a court date and released or released on a personal recognizance.
