Who Issues Warrants in Gloversville
In New York an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Gloversville that means the Fulton 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.
Statewide, eCourts is the Unified Court System's free online case search (WebCivil, WebCrims and WebFamily).
Who Serves Warrants in Gloversville
The Fulton County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Gloversville (filed by the FBI as Gloversville Police Department) serve warrants in and around Gloversville.
The Dolgeville Village Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Fulton County, so its arrests are not broken out for Fulton County here.
A warrant issued in Fulton 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 four agencies in Fulton County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 1,320 arrests to the FBI that year; arrests on warrants are counted among them, not separately.
Each agency and what it reported is in Gloversville arrest records.

How to Check for a Warrant in Gloversville
The places to check for a warrant from Gloversville:
- 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) 736-5511, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Fulton County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff'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 Gloversville
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Gloversville 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 Fulton County Supreme and County Courts.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The District Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at fultoncountyny.gov/district-attorneys-office, phone (518) 736-5511.
