Who Issues Warrants in Glens Falls
In New York an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Glens Falls that means the Warren 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 Glens Falls
Whether a warrant is out from Glens Falls shows in three places:
- The court file of the case, through the County Clerk at 800-320-2617, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- 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 (518) 761-6405, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Warren County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court's and the prosecutor's) 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 Glens Falls
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Glens Falls starts with the County Clerk at 800-320-2617: 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 Warren County Supreme and County Courts.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The District Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at warrencountyny.gov/da, phone (518) 761-6405.
