Warren County, New York, has about 65,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Warren County Sheriff's Office and two city agencies. An arrest leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the District Attorney files charges, a case in the Warren County Supreme and County Courts. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts each agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies, cities and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Warren County
The Warren County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Warren County. It reported 987 arrests for 2025.
One city in Warren County reports its arrests to the FBI separately:
- Glens Falls, 14,455 residents: 534 arrests reported for 2025.
A city on that list is reported separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
How Many Arrests Each Agency Reports in Warren County
The FBI publishes every agency's monthly arrest counts on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Warren County Sheriff's Office: 987 for 2025, 929 for 2024, 845 for 2023, 778 for 2022, 618 for 2021 and 592 for 2020.

Together, the two agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 1,521 arrests that year. The same agencies with both 2025 and 2024 complete reported 1,521 in 2025 against 1,433 in 2024, up 6.1 percent.
Through June 2026, the two agencies with every month so far on file reported 593 arrests, against 767 in the same months of 2025.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Warren County Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Warren County is held at the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest, apart from the short stay some city departments' own holding cells allow; a person cited and released at the scene is not booked at all. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and the court file takes over from there.
So far in 2026 the jail has held about 100 people on an average day, up from about 100 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2019, the last year with a capacity figure, was 186 beds, and it ran at 56 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Warren County
Whether someone was arrested in Warren County, and what came of it, shows up in two places: the case index of the Warren County Supreme and County Courts, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at warrencountyny.gov/clerk/online_records, phone 800-320-2617); the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at warrencountyny.gov/da, phone (518) 761-6405).
Statewide, eCourts is the Unified Court System's free online case search (WebCivil, WebCrims and WebFamily).
New York is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: the Office of Court Administration sells a statewide search of criminal court records by name and date of birth, for $95 a search, through the New York State Office of Court Administration. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
