It would be convenient if there were a central location online that the public could check for arrest warrants in Greene County. Unfortunately, this is not the case. If you perform a warrant search in Greene County, you will have some actual legwork to do because Greene County has virtually no information about arrest warrants available online. The exception to this is the Greene County Most Wanted. However, there is no disclaimer about the accuracy of the information or how frequently the list is updated. If you think that you have an arrest warrant pending, you should perform a thorough warrant search of the Greene County public records.

First, begin by checking the Greene County Sheriff’s Department for outstanding warrants that have not yet been served. The office is located at 80 Bridge Street in Catskill, NY 12414. An arrest warrant remains active until it is served. In addition to answering your questions about outstanding warrants, the Sheriff’s Office can help you with criminal background checks. It can also provide copies of arrest records for arrest warrants that have already been executed.

Second, you must search the court records in Greene County for active warrants and criminal cases. Both the County Court and the Supreme Court have jurisdiction to issue arrest warrants in Greene County. Therefore, you need to visit the County Clerk’s Office located at 411 Main Street in Catskill, NY 12414. You can obtain copies of court records and get information about active criminal cases pending before the courts. The records division will have a list of the arrest warrants issued by both courts.
