What is a Bench Warrant in NY?
A bench warrant is issued if the individual fails to respond to a court order. If a person is stopped by law enforcement for any reason, such as being pulled over for a traffic violation, and the individual has a warrant in their name, law enforcement can immediately take them into custody.
Reasons a bench warrant can be issued include:
- Failure to appear in court on a specific date and time
- Failure to appear for community service
- Failure to pay fines
- Failure to respond to a subpoena
- Failure to pay child support

What is an Arrest Warrant in NY?
A warrant is an order issued by the court that authorizes law enforcement to make an arrest. In New York, a judge can issue a bench warrant or an arrest warrant.
An arrest warrant is issued after a judge hears evidence in a case and determines there is probable cause that an individual committed a crime. Law enforcement will then go to the person’s home or office to make the arrest.
