Who Issues Warrants in Amityville
In New York an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Amityville that means the Suffolk County Supreme and County Courts, which hear divorces and major civil cases in the Supreme Court, felonies in the County Court; the city, town and village courts, which take misdemeanors, traffic cases and small claims, issue their own warrants on the cases before them.
When a defendant misses a court date the judge issues a bench warrant, and either kind of warrant lives in the court file of the case, kept by the County Clerk.
For Suffolk County, SearchSystems opened and checked the court records page for the county at iapps.courts.state.ny.us/webcrim_attorney/DefendantSearch (page title: Suffolk County court records | NY iApps), a site that blocks automated checks (HTTP 403), so open it in a browser. That page belongs to a lower court, the city, town and village courts, not to the Suffolk County Supreme and County Courts.

Who Serves Warrants in Amityville
The Suffolk County Sheriff's Office, the Suffolk County Police Department and the agency that reports for Amityville (filed by the FBI as Amityville Village Police Department) serve warrants in and around Amityville.

A warrant issued in Suffolk County is good anywhere in New York, so it is served by whichever agency finds the person, in a traffic stop as often as at the door.
Together, the 14 agencies in Suffolk County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 3,782 arrests to the FBI that year; arrests on warrants are counted among them, not separately.
Each agency and what it reported is in Amityville arrest records.

Clearing a Warrant from Amityville
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Amityville starts with the County Clerk: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
A missed date in a case before the city, town and village courts is handled by that court, not by the Suffolk County Supreme and County Courts.
