In Kansas, the duration for which a warrant stays active can vary depending on the type of warrant and the circumstances surrounding it.

Some General Guidelines

1. Arrest Warrants – Arrest warrants typically remain active until they are served, meaning the individual named in the warrant is arrested. There is no expiration date for arrest warrants in Kansas, so they can remain active indefinitely until resolved by arrest or other means.

2. Bench Warrants – Bench warrants are issued by a judge for failure to appear in court, failure to comply with a court order, or similar reasons. Like arrest warrants, bench warrants typically remain active until they are resolved by the individual appearing before the court or being arrested. There is no set expiration date for bench warrants in Kansas.

3. Search Warrants – Search warrants are issued by a judge to authorize law enforcement officers to search a specific location for evidence of a crime. The duration of a search warrant can vary depending on the terms specified in the warrant itself, but they typically remain active for a limited period, such as 10 days to 30 days, after which they expire if not executed.

Note that while there may not be an expiration date for arrest warrants and bench warrants, law enforcement agencies and courts may prioritize serving warrants based on factors such as the seriousness of the offense and the availability of resources. Also, individuals with active warrants may be subject to arrest at any time if encountered by law enforcement officers.

If you are unsure about the status of a warrant or need assistance resolving a warrant in Kansas, it’s advisable to consult with an attorney who can provide guidance and represent your interests in legal proceedings.
