How do I add/remove warrants?

A warrant is a court order that directs a law enforcement officer to arrest and bring a person before the judge. Use Setup Warrants to save a warrant for an existing case. When you print warrants using Batch/Letters Forms, you do not need to manually set up the warrant; the report will save the warrant for you.
