Since the issue of all active warrants can be attributed to the office of the magistrate, this should be one of the first state agencies to visit in your quest for an arrest warrant search in Cumberland County, KY. The judiciary renders the role of the impartial entity that is supposed to deliberate on the evidence collected by the police and ensure that it holds in light of the probable cause requirement imposed on the issue of all active warrants.

To ascertain that arrests are not made based on a mere hunch that would violate the liberties guaranteed to every citizen of the United States by its Constitution, it was imperative to confer the authority to issue arrest warrants on a third party. Because the judiciary is in no way involved in investigating criminal matters, magistrates are in a position to determine if the law enforcement agency is within its legal boundaries when requesting an arrest warrant.

Although the court does not participate in apprehending the offender or filing charges against him, once arrests occur under Cumberland outstanding warrants, the police cannot release the accused unless a magistrate grants him bail. From here on, the tribunal plays an active role in processing the offender as he is put through one court session after another till the verdict against him is readout.

In fact, it is the court that sentences all criminals who are pronounced guilty. So, the magistrate will have information on Cumberland County arrest records, active warrants, other legal provisions such as summons and bench warrants issued in the name of the subject, charges filed against him, and sentencing.
