Court Services
Court Security Officers maintain
security and order for those courts held in County facilities.
These include Family Court, County Court, Supreme Court and
Surrogate Courts, as well as all Grand Jury proceedings.
Security personnel scan all persons entering any court area,
using a walk through metal detector at two locations and hand
held metal detectors at all other facilities. Security ensures
the safety of Judges, Attorneys, Plaintiffs, Defendants,
Witnesses, Court personnel and any others present in court.
Court Security Officers determine that
all parties to an action are present and call the cases. They
check the courtrooms prior to the daily activities to make sure
the area is safe, and secure the area again when court is
through. Court Officers assist the Judges with various tasks and
during jury trials; they assist the jury when required. There
are presently five Deputies under the direct supervision of
Sergeant assigned to the Court Security Division .
