The Aurora Municipal Court has rolled out a new online warrant search that allows people to check on outstanding warrants without having to visit or call the court, part of ongoing efforts to increase transparency and customer service for residents.
The warrant search, which is available at AuroraGov.org/courts, was prioritized following a presentation from Aurora Police Agent Virgil Majors about technological improvements to improve customer service.
“As a court, we want to make it clear and simple for people to comply with warrants and, by extension, ease the burden upon law enforcement,” said Aurora Court Administrator Candace Atkinson. “We are always looking for ways to improve our customer service, and I want to thank Agent Majors for his suggestions and work to improve our processes.”
Residents can still request a warrant check in person at the Aurora Municipal Court, 14999 E. Alameda Parkway, or by phone at 303.739.6455 or 303.739.6444.
Other technology improvements at the court to facilitate customer service include:
- The ability to take partial payments online after a case has come to a disposition, which allows litigants on a payment plan to avoid monthly trips to the courthouse.
- The sending of reminder emails for court dates, missed court dates, due payment, if an account is going to be sent to collections, and if a warrant is issued.
The Aurora Municipal Court presides over violations of the Aurora Municipal Code, including traffic summonses and complaints, parks and open space offenses, city-code criminal offenses, neighborhood code compliance violations, overweight commercial truck offenses, animal services violations, and fire department related offenses.
