Call the County Clerk of Court or the Illinois Police Department to
Another effective way to check for pending warrants is to call the police department or court clerk to see if your name is on the list.
The state of Illinois has a warrants task force tasked with identifying, arresting and prosecuting individuals with outstanding warrants. You don’t have to wait for this task force to come to you when you have a court order. You can go to the court to appear for your arraignment instead of turning yourself in to the police. You should also contact a qualified attorney to represent you and look after your interests in the case.
