Who Issues Warrants in East Rochester
In New York an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For East Rochester that means the Monroe 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.
A bench warrant follows a missed court date in any of those courts. Whichever kind it is, the warrant is part of the file of the case it was issued in, and the County Clerk keeps that file.

How to Check for a Warrant in East Rochester
Whether a warrant is out from East Rochester shows in two places:
- ECourts, the Unified Court System's free online case search (WebCivil, WebCrims and WebFamily), for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The District Attorney, phone 585 753-4500, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Monroe County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the prosecutor's and the records request page) is a list of open warrants, so a check means asking the court or the prosecutor about a case by name.
Clearing a Warrant from East Rochester
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from East Rochester 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 Monroe County Supreme and County Courts.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The District Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at monroecounty.gov/da, phone 585 753-4500.
