The New York State Sheriffs’ Association Institute recently held a weeklong basic school for deputy sheriffs and civilian staff who work in sheriffs’ civil divisions. All sheriffs have civil law enforcement functions, which include the service of process, enforcement of judgments and other court orders and mandates. Sheriffs must keep exact records on such items as judgment interest, fees collected for the county and disbursements to judgment creditors. These items were reviewed at the school. This school also covered some of the more challenging and time-consuming cases that sheriffs face in their civil divisions. Deputies who are experts in civil enforcement law participated as instructors.
Forty-one deputies and other staff from sheriffs’ offices around the state attended the program. The second week of instruction focused on more advanced topics Counties seeking civil office accreditation are required to participate in this program, which is provided by the New York State Sheriffs’ Association.
The institute has provided civil law enforcement training for 30 years, and has trained more than 2,000 deputy sheriffs and their employees. It provides the only statewide training program for civil deputies and is provided without charge to any civil personnel nominated by a sheriff.
