court unit

The Court Services Unit provides building security for the judicial center, county judges as well as coordinate the transportation of inmates for each judges' courtroom. Transportation includes picking up and returning inmates to prisons throughout the state and extraditions throughout the country. These deputies also take persons into custody by order of the court, and process them into the county detention center. Court unit deputies are responsible for the care, custody and control of all inmates transported for court. A deputy assigned to the control room has immediate control over the inmates that are returned for court and housed within the holding cells located in a secure area of the judicial center.

Court unit deputies also respond to law enforcement calls for service within the judicial center. These disturbances usually arise from family court, child support, divorces, and injunction cases.
