N.Y. Criminal Procedure Law Section 510.50
Enforcement of securing order

1.

When the attendance of a principal confined in the custody of the sheriff is required at the criminal action or proceeding at a particular time and place, the court may compel such attendance by directing the sheriff to produce the principal at such time and place. If the principal is at liberty on the principal’s own recognizance or non-monetary conditions or on bail, the principal’s attendance may be achieved or compelled by various methods, including notification and the issuance of a bench warrant, prescribed by law in provisions governing such matters with respect to the particular kind of action or proceeding involved.

2.

Except when the principal is charged with a new crime while at liberty, absent relevant, credible evidence demonstrating that a principal’s failure to appear for a scheduled court appearance was willful, the court, prior to issuing a bench warrant for a failure to appear for a scheduled court appearance, shall provide at least forty-eight hours notice to the principal or the principal’s counsel that the principal is required to appear, in order to give the principal an opportunity to appear voluntarily.
