Usually, when the police arrest a person, the detention is considered legal only when there is an active warrant from Bleckley County, Georgia, to support it. Of course, this does not mean that law enforcement has no powers without such an order. Peace officers can arrest when the suspect is fleeing the crime scene or when they chance upon an offender who is committing a crime. In all other cases, arrest warrants are legal mandates.

The police have to go to court to get an active warrant in Bleckley County. Only a local tribunal that can deliberate on criminal cases has the authority to issue arrest warrants. The sheriff’s office requests a pre-warrant hearing after a detailed affidavit is submitted to the bench.
