How to Check for a Warrant in Warsaw
Run the name through Case.net, pick Benton County, and jot down the case number and division. Then call the Circuit Clerk at 660-438-7712. For a Warsaw police incident, go to Warsaw Police; for a Sheriff service or return record, use the Sheriff’s records route.
- Match the public case.
- Confirm the issuing division.
- Ask what appearance or compliance step applies.
- Verify any later recall.
Warsaw’s Municipal Court Moved in 2023
Warsaw’s municipal court moved to 316 Van Buren, the Benton County Courthouse, on January 15, 2023. The official Warsaw court page says so. Fines now route through the courthouse and Case.net, so ignore any older instruction to pay the City of Warsaw.
Current route: ask the Circuit Clerk whether the Warsaw matter requires payment, appearance, a plan, or judicial recall.
The Warsaw Police Department and Municipal Court

Warsaw Addresses Answer Different Questions
Each Warsaw address answers a different question. The courthouse at 316 Van Buren owns the court route. The Sheriff’s Office at 1620 E. Main Street handles county law enforcement and detention. Ask the Sheriff about a docket and you lose time; ask the clerk for a police incident record and you reach the wrong office.
Types of Warsaw Warrants
Warsaw cases can come from city or county proceedings, so identify the source before you act.
| Type | Likely origin | First route |
|---|---|---|
| Municipal bench warrant | Missed Warsaw ordinance hearing | Circuit Clerk |
| Traffic-related warrant | Classified court case | Named division |
| Arrest warrant | Criminal complaint process | Case.net and clerk |
| Search warrant | Judicial search authorization | Court record, if public |
Warsaw Court Payment and Recall Are Separate
A receipt only proves money changed hands. It may not show that a judge recalled process, that the clerk entered an order, or that law enforcement got the update. Keep your receipt and ask each question plainly. Only the Warsaw court can confirm the matter is finished.
What a Warsaw Warrant Record Shows
A public city-related case may provide a useful routing inventory.
| Case number | A court identifier such as 27BT |
|---|---|
| Warsaw charge | The ordinance, traffic, or criminal allegation |
| Division | The court responsible for the file |
| Docket event | Issue, appearance, return, or recall when public |
| Next date | A scheduled hearing or compliance event |
Warsaw Court Hours and Sheriff Hours Differ
The two Warsaw schedules do not match. County offices post weekday hours with a noon closure, while Sheriff records run weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Call the specific office before you drive over, above all when a court appearance or document pickup has a deadline.
Where Warsaw Warrants Fit With Benton County
A Warsaw warrant fits into a larger Benton County picture. Warsaw Police or the municipal case feeds the assigned court process; the Circuit Clerk keeps the docket; the Sheriff may receive process for service, and law-enforcement systems may reflect enforcement status. Case.net is a public case lead, not a statewide warrant registry. For the full county route, see the Benton County warrant overview.
No Official Warsaw Warrant List Was Found
Warsaw publishes no warrant list. The police and court pages post no active, bench, or most-wanted roster, and Sheriff news and detention data are no substitute. Rely on the court record and direct contacts, since any unofficial list may be incomplete or stale.
Public Access to Warsaw Warrant Records
Missouri Sunshine Law covers existing public city and law-enforcement records, while court access follows Missouri Courts rules. Juvenile, closed, unexecuted, and investigative materials may be restricted. Send a court request to the clerk and a police-record request to the office that holds it.
Ask narrowly: name the known case, date range, and document instead of requesting a newly created Warsaw roster.
After a Warsaw Warrant Is Addressed
Save the order and receipt, then check the later docket. Ask when the recall was transmitted. A lawyer can help with appearance or surrender decisions, but no phone caller or payment demand replaces the Warsaw court’s own confirmation.
