A Desk Appearance Ticket, is a written notice issued by a police officer directing you to appear in criminal court at a designated date and time in connection with an alleged criminal offense. If you receive a Desk Appearance Ticket but fail to appear as instructed, the court may issue a warrant of arrest based upon the crime charged (C.P.L §150.60). Following arrest, a police officer can choose (with certain offenses) to give you a Desk Appearance Ticket instead of bringing you to central booking. The Desk Appearance Ticket will list a "return date" which will instruct you when and where you are to appear with an attorney for your arraignment. An arraignment, generally, is a court appearance where you and your attorney will be informed about the nature of the crime or crimes charged and where bail can be set.

A Desk Appearance Ticket carries the risk of Jail,

a permanent criminal record, license suspension, submission of a DNA sample, immigration consequences, international travel complications, a warrant for your arrest (sometimes due to court error or an incorrect address on your ticket), civil lawsuit / other long-term civil penalties, suspension of any professional license, and other consequences.
