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

Having a warrant issued is a serious matter, and failing to respond to it could result in severe consequences.

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.
