Your chances of resolving a bench warrant without getting arrested are better if you talk to an attorney, resolve any issues underlying the warrant (such as not paying a fine) and then arrange to appear before a judge instead of waiting for a cop to pick you up for speeding or for breathing too loudly in public.
When law enforcement does encounter someone with an active bench warrant, they have the legal authority to arrest them and bring them before the judge. In the meantime, the individual may be held in police custody until a hearing to determine whether to release them or levy additional consequences.
This is typically done by filing a written motion with the court clerks office, which will give the person a new court date. Then on that court date, an oral motion to quash or recall can be made to the judge. The judge will quash or recall the warrant because the person has now complied with the order to appear.
Initial Arrest Warrants are confidential before they are served. You may go to any law enforcement agency in person to find out if you have any outstanding warrants. Once an initial arrest warrant is served, the information is public record and available on Iowa Courts Online.
A warrant is issued as the result of an investigation in a criminal case; whereas a bench warrant is usually issued by a judge for either failing to appear as promised or failing to pay a fine. Warrants are classified by the State Legislature and are done so by the severity of the crime and the ultimate penalty.

When a bench warrant is issued, law enforcement will not be dispatched to find the individual. However, if the police encounter an individual with a bench warrant in the course of their duties, such as at the scene of an accident or at a traffic stop, they will arrest the person at the scene.
Importantly, outstanding bench warrants do not expire after a set amount of time. They are effective until recalled by the judge (or until you die).
A bench warrant is an order from a judge or magistrate to law enforcement personnel that gives them the power to arrest you and bring you to court. Typically, a bench warrant is issued for individuals when they fail to appear in court to respond to criminal charges.
