A written order directing a law enforcement officer to arrest a person is commonly known as an arrest warrant. It is issued by a judge or magistrate and provides legal authority for the officer to apprehend and detain the individual named in the warrant. The warrant typically includes information about the alleged offense and the individual being arrested.
