Warrants & Charges

Maintain an organized warrant archive, issue arrest warrants and link criminal charges to registered citizens.

Warrant archive

The Warrants tab opens a searchable archive. Search by citizen, marshal, warrant number or alleged offence. Filter records by Active, Served or Cancelled.

Issue a new warrant

1. Open Warrants and select Issue New Arrest Warrant.
2. Select the registered citizen to whom the warrant applies.
3. Provide the allegation date, location, warrant classification and issuing marshal.
4. Document the grounds for arrest, evidence and any officer instructions.
5. Select the relevant criminal charges from the shared county charge list.
6. Review the suggestions and save the warrant.

The form supports up to 15 charges. Suggested totals depend on your Config.Charges values.

Update or resolve a warrant

Open a warrant from the archive and use Edit / Add to Warrant to revise its details while keeping the original citizen link. Active warrants can be marked Served or Cancelled. Cancelled warrants remain in the archive and are not editable.

Database upgrades

Fresh installations use sql/install.sql. Existing installations upgrading to v0.4.9 should review sql/UPGRADE_v0.4.9.sql, which covers added warrant fields and the revisions table. The resource attempts schema updates automatically, but manual application may be needed depending on database permissions.
