Police and judges can issue warrants remotely
Beginning November 1, 2026, police and magistrates can process arrest warrants by phone or electronic message. Email or similar systems must send a full, printable image of the warrant. By phone, the applicant states probable cause and reads the warrant word-for-word. The judge gives oral permission to print the judge’s name, date, and time. The recorded oral okay counts as issuing the warrant, and the call is recorded, transcribed, and filed with the warrant. For email cases, the affidavit has a notarized acknowledgment or a phone oath. If sworn by phone, the judge writes the date and time on the affidavit.
