Arrest warrants may be issued for a number of reasons, including if a person fails to appear in court as scheduled or subpoenaed, has broken probation or parole or has been charged with a crime but unable to be located. If you suspect or are concerned about a potential arrest warrant in Edmonton, you should retain legal counsel immediately. If a warrant exists, your defence lawyer can find out the details, arrange for your surrender, and even negotiate the terms of your release (bail). You can also find out if there is a warrant for your arrest by visiting either the local police station or the clerk at your local courthouse—but be aware, if one does exist, you will be arrested on the spot without the opportunity to consult your lawyer beforehand.
