Judicial Services

The Sheriff's Office Judicial Services is responsible for the security of the St. Clair County Courthouse in both Ashville and Pell City. Judicial Service deputies are APOST certified and perform security and law enforcement duties to support the overall court operations. They screen everyone who enters the courthouse for weapons and other prohibited items, conduct routine perimeter and safety checks, and transport inmates to and from court. Additionally, they maintain order in each courtroom and provide security for each judge. They make arrests, serve, enforce court documents and writs, and respond to and resolve any disturbances in or around the courthouse. These deputies also transport inmates to and from other county jails and state prisons for court and transport juveniles to juvenile detention facilities.
