The magistrate’s court would be a good place to launch a Tooele County arrest warrant search. At the end of the day, it is the judge who signs an arrest order putting it into effect. In other words, a directive of this nature can only come into existence in UT if it is sanctioned by the judiciary.

Although the magistrate is the only judicial authority who can grant orders for arrests, the release of these directives has to be exclusively based on reasonable cause. This means that a judge cannot just order the detention of a person unless he has cause to believe that this person was involved in commissioning a criminal act.

Two scenarios arise here; one when the law is broken by means of disobedience of a court directive, an order for the arrests of such individuals who stand in contempt of court is issued. The other situation is when a felony or serious misdemeanor has been committed and the police have proof pertaining to this crime.

This evidence is presented in front of the court for the purpose of securing an active warrant. In the first case, the order for detention issued is known as a bench warrant, these are issued by the judiciary on its own authority without any role played by the cops in the process. The second type of arrest directive is known as an active or outstanding warrant.

For their issue, the police have to submit a probable cause declaration in court. Once an arrest is made, the police keep information pertaining to it in their database and return the warrant to the magistrate’s court. This way both law enforcement as well as the office of the magistrate and the county clerk have arrest records from Tooele County. So, if you are interested in a warrant search, you can approach:

  • The sheriff’s department: 47 S Main St, Tooele, Utah 84074
  • The magistrate’s court: As given above
  • The county clerk’s office: 179 North Main, Suite 101, Logan, Utah 84321
