Going to the police for a Cumberland County arrest warrant search makes sense because this is the agency responsible for serving VA active warrants and keeping records about detentions. In fact, the police file a petition in court when an arrest warrant is needed.

The request is backed by a probable cause affidavit that details the criminal occurrence, the evidence available in the matter, and how it connects the crime to the alleged offender. The magistrate studies this writ to ensure that an active warrant will not go against the country’s constitution.

As long as it can be shown that the evidence presented is enough to prove to any person of reasonable mental faculties that a crime was indeed committed and that it was commissioned by the accused, the arrest warrant can be issued. After release, this active warrant is handed to the sheriff’s office for execution.

Arrests can be made under warrants at any time regardless of how many years have passed since the order’s actual release. To find information on Cumberland County arrest records and outstanding warrants, you can approach the three agencies mentioned further:
