Warrants

The Warrants module, accessed by selecting the gavel icon in the main navigation menu, lets you add court papers (criminal and civil) to Axon Records.

In this module, you can:

• Create and submit new papers
• Review and finalize papers
• Assign warrants for service
• Update paper status
• Search for warrants and other court papers
• Add warrants to an arrest
• Print papers and letters

Only users with specific privileges can access the Warrants module. When you open the module, the My Tasks inbox loads. You may also see several other inboxes based on your organization's configuration and the Command Hierarchy groups and/or teams you belong to.
