Court Operations
Court Security
Deputies not only provide for the safe detention of inmates within the courthouse awaiting trial, they also actively patrol the grounds and interior of both courthouses; screen individuals entering the courthouse for prohibited items (i.e. weapons such as bullets, guns and knives; technology such as cell phones and smart watches; animals); and monitor all court proceedings constantly for potential problems.
The deputies are very knowledgeable about the functions of the various agencies within the courthouses and are available to assist citizens during their visit to the courthouse.
