In Augusta-Richmond County, Georgia, the Warrant Officer of the Civil Court issues arrest warrants for misdemeanors and felonies. The Civil Court works very closely with the Magistrate Court; the Civil Court is considered the court of record, which means that they issue citations. The Magistrate Court is the court of inquiry in which actions are filed, and preliminary hearings are held. When the Civil Court issues an arrest warrant, it is processed through the Records Bureau of the county sheriff’s office. The Records Bureau processes all paperwork generated by court and law enforcement officers. In 2009 they processed more than 8,000 warrants. Once processed, the sheriff’s office executes the active warrants, which are warrants that have been issued but not yet executed, and maintains the outstanding warrants, which are warrants active for a certain period without having been executed.
