Court security is an essential function of the Sheriff's Office.
This department is comprised of a Sergeant and three full time court officers along with several part time officers.
These officers maintain security of the courtrooms by serving as a bailiff while court is in session. They also are responsible for serving warrants, manning the X-ray machine and metal detectors which are located at the front door of the courthouse.
Officers must also monitor security cameras which are located in various areas inside and outside of the facility. These officers are professional and highly trained in the area of court security to handle situations that arise.
