Court Security Division

The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office Court Security Division oversees the transportation of inmates to and from court, Bailiff assignments, courthouse security and the Work Alternative Program.

Transportation involves the movement of inmates to and from the Monterey County Courthouses. They also transport inmates to state prisons, outside medical appointments, and will extradite individuals arrested in other counties or states who are wanted in Monterey County. The Unit operates a fleet of four buses and ten vans including a van for the disabled.

Bailiffs and Court Security involves providing court security for the California Superior Court (Monterey County). The bailiffs are responsible for court security, assisting juries, maintaining the decorum of the courts, escorting inmates to and from court, and processing court remands.
