In Forsyth County, Georgia, arrest warrants are issued by the Magistrate Court. However, an individual citizen can request that a warrant be issued by filling out a criminal warrant application. Once the warrant has been issued, it is processed through the Civil Process Unit of the Forsyth County sheriff’s office, who records the warrant in the Clerk of Court’s office and then, within seven days of having received it, sends it on to the Warrant Unit to be served to the alleged offender.

These documents include active warrants, which are warrants that have been issued and processed but have not yet been served to the suspect, and outstanding warrants, which are warrants that have remained active without being served for a certain period. The warrants can be for either felonies or misdemeanors.

The Forsyth County sheriff’s office Warrant Unit is located at 875 Lanier 700 Pky, Cumming, GA, 30040. The County Magistrate Court is located at 1090 Tribble Gap Rd, Cumming, GA, 30040.
