Who Issues Warrants in Malverne
In New York an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Malverne that means the Nassau 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.
For Nassau County, SearchSystems opened and checked the court records page for the county at iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/CaseSearch (page title: NYSCEF Case Search | NY iApps | Unified Court System), a site that blocks automated checks (HTTP 403), so open it in a browser.
Statewide, eCourts is the Unified Court System's free online case search (WebCivil, WebCrims and WebFamily).
Who Serves Warrants in Malverne
The Nassau County Police Department and the agency that reports for Malverne (filed by the FBI as Malverne Village Police Department) serve warrants in and around Malverne.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Nassau County: United States Merchant Marine Academy and the Old Westbury State University of New York Police (campus police); each serves warrants on its own ground.
A warrant issued in Nassau 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 19 agencies in Nassau County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 17,730 arrests to the FBI that year; arrests on warrants are counted among them, not separately.
Each agency and what it reported is in Malverne arrest records.
Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Malverne Is Held
A person arrested on a warrant and kept in custody goes to the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest. The jail, run by the Nassau County Police Department, held about 690 people on an average day so far in 2026 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count.
A person arrested in Malverne on a warrant from another county is held at the same jail until that county takes custody.
How to Check for a Warrant in Malverne
Whether a warrant is out from Malverne 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, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Nassau County pages SearchSystems verified (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 Malverne
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Malverne 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 Nassau County Supreme and County Courts.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The District Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at nassaucountyny.gov/3427/Prosecution.
