Many New York counties allow warrant searches through the county clerk or court system online. State-level outstanding warrant searches are available through NY State Police portals. Some jurisdictions limit public access to active warrant data for safety reasons.

Federal lists include white-collar crime, terrorism, and interstate offenses.
