Who Issues Warrants in Webster
In New York an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Webster 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.
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 Monroe County, SearchSystems opened and checked the court records page for the county at iapps.courts.state.ny.us/webcivilLocal/LCSearch?param=P (page title: 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 Webster
The Monroe County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Webster (filed by the FBI as Webster Town and Village Police Department) serve warrants in and around Webster.
The FBI's agency list also places one more agency in Monroe County: the Brockport State University of New York Police (campus police); it serves warrants on its own ground.
A warrant issued in Monroe 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 11 agencies in Monroe County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 11,822 arrests to the FBI that year; arrests on warrants are counted among them, not separately.
Each agency and what it reported is in Webster arrest records.
Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Webster 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 Monroe County Sheriff's Office, held about 750 people on an average day so far in 2026 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count and has a jail page SearchSystems verified at monroecosheriffga.us/offender-search. The Webster inmate search guide covers the jail in full.
A person arrested in Webster on a warrant from another county is held at the same jail until that county takes custody.
How to Check for a Warrant in Webster
Whether a warrant is out from Webster 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 Webster
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Webster 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.
