Before you look for arrest records in Arapahoe County, CO, it would certainly help to equip yourself with information on basic legalese about arrest warrants and how they work. An order for arrest can exclusively be issued by a judicial entity in charge of handling criminal matters.

To seek a warrant against an individual who lives in Arapahoe County, Colorado, or who is residing in the area when he/she has committed the crime, the local police have to approach the criminal court with a request for a warrant.

Before an arrest order is granted to the Sheriff’s Department, the DA”s office or representatives of the law enforcement agency have to submit a writ in court detailing the incident in which the alleged perpetrator is involved and the nature of the crime, along with basic data about the person in question.

The sitting judge carefully studies all the information presented before issuing a warrant. A signed order for detention is called an active arrest warrant. Once issued, this document never expires and can be used to arrest an individual at any time and from any part of the country if it relates to a felony.

If a warrant has been issued, there is a strong likelihood that enough evidence is available in the matter to implicate the individual against whom the arrest order has been granted. Once the person is taken in custody, the police are legally obligated to present him/her for a hail hearing at the earliest.
