How Aurora Arrest Warrants Work

Arrest warrants in Aurora follow Illinois law. Under 725 ILCS 5/107-1, a warrant of arrest is a written order from a court to a peace officer. A judge issues the warrant after reviewing a sworn complaint that shows probable cause. The warrant must include the person's name, sex, date of birth or description, the nature of the offense, and the date it was issued. Warrants issued in Aurora are directed to all peace officers in Illinois, so they can be served anywhere in the state.

Bench warrants are common in Aurora. These get issued when a person misses a court date or fails to pay a fine. If you think you have a bench warrant in Aurora, you can check the city warrant search portal or call the court. Turning yourself in on a bench warrant is usually better than waiting to be picked up during a traffic stop or other contact with police.
