When you are looking for arrest records in Johnson County, Kansas, you are bound to come across the names of some of the state agencies that keep information about active warrants issued in the area and are in some ways involved with the release of these orders. Typically, the cops and the judiciary work hand in hand when it comes to the issue of legal directives like warrants issued in felony cases.

However, a specific category of arrest warrants requires no involvement of the police; these orders are known as bench warrants, and they are not issued in case of criminal matters that the police have handled. Au contraire, these orders for arrests are issued when the judiciary is already sitting on the evidence against the accused as he has neglected a court order.

When an arrest occurs under an order for detention issued by the judiciary, whether it is a bench directive or an outstanding warrant from Johnson County, the police have to follow the words of the court on the matter. This means that if certain rules for arrest or release have been mentioned on the warrant, these have to be adhered to.

The police keep arrest records about the detention of offenders, and a notice of these is sent to the judiciary through the return of the warrant. In essence, at least three justice agencies have details about warrant issue and execution. So, for a warrant search, you can approach:

  • The sheriff’s office: 27747 W 159th St, New Century, Kansas 66031
  • The county clerk’s department: 111 South Cherry Street, Suite 1200, Olathe, Kansas 6606
  • The magistrate’s court: 125 North Cherry, Olathe, Kansas 66061
