An arrest warrant is an order from a judge authorizing law enforcement to arrest an individual for a crime they are accused of committing. The warrant usually has the criminal charge and the name of the person who is sought for the crime listed on it.
Once a bench warrant is issued, however, the police can treat it like any other arrest warrant -- and use it to bring the defendant back in front of the judge. (For more on failing to appear in court, see Bail Jumpingâor Failing to Appear After Bailing Out.) By contrast, the arrest warrant process is started by a police officer. The officer files a statement with the judge explaining why he believes that the person named has committed a crime (in legalese, the officer is showing probable cause to arrest the person). If the judge is convinced, she signs the warrant, and the police can make the arrest. That doesn't mean that police officers must go running back to court for arrest warrants for every purse-snatcher they see. Many arrests do not require a warrant at all. The most typical use of an arrest warrant is when an officer wants to nab an unsuspecting suspect in the comfort of his or her own home.
