How Cicero Warrant Cases Work

A warrant in Cicero is a court order from a judge in the Cook County Circuit Court, which is part of the 1st Judicial Circuit. Under 725 ILCS 5/107-1, a warrant of arrest is a written order from a court directed to a peace officer commanding the arrest of a named person. The warrant must list the person's name, sex, date of birth or description, the nature of the offense, and the date issued. Once entered into LEADS, a Cicero warrant can be served anywhere in the state.

Bench warrants are the most common type in Cicero. A judge issues one when a person misses a scheduled court date. Arrest warrants require a sworn complaint showing probable cause. Under 725 ILCS 5/107-9, the complaint must be written, subscribed, and sworn to. The warrant is directed to all peace officers in Illinois, which means it can be served in Cicero, Chicago, or any other part of the state.

Note: Cicero cases are handled through Cook County District 4, which covers the western suburbs.
