An arrest warrant search in Mariposa County, CA, can be conducted through the sheriff’s office or the magistrate. The police will request the court to issue an active warrant when they intend to detain a person connected with a misdemeanor. Because felonies are more serious offenses, arrests can be made in these cases without an outstanding warrant as well.

When it comes to the more heinous crime classes, police are authorized to take the accused into custody whenever and wherever he is spotted. However, if little is known about the offender, cops are forced to seek a warrant to keep the matter open. Once a Mariposa County active warrant is issued against a criminal, it stays in the system for as long as it takes to effect detention.

Even after arrests occur, information about these is stored in the police database. Arrest records are also sent to the magistrate’s office and the clerk of court because once the accused is detained, the next step involves taking him to court for a bail hearing.

The tribunal and the clerk’s office are given time to prepare for the hearing by sending the original arrest warrants back to these agencies, which signals that the offender in whose name the order was released is currently in police custody. To initiate an inquiry into the active warrants and arrest records against your subject, you can go to:

  • The sheriff’s department: 5099 Old Highway, PO Box 276, Mariposa, California 95338
  • The magistrate’s court: 5088 Bullion St, Mariposa, CA 95338
  • The county clerk’s office: 4982 10th St, Mariposa, California 95338
