First
Judicial District of Pennsylvania Warrant Unit
The
First Judicial District is the court system for the city and county of
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Warrant Unit enforces laws pertaining to
probation, parole, bench warrants, arrest warrants, and judicial body warrants.
This unit's job is similar to that of the US Marshals or local or
state court constables. They serve these warrants and hunt wanted criminals
in city of Philadelphia and other areas in cooperation with fugitive task
forces, US Marshals, FBI and other agencies. Before the Warrant Squad was
created in 1970, the Philadelphia Sheriffs department was performing these
duties in Philadelphia.
