The Sheriff's Office is responsible for security in all
the Courtrooms in Lawrence County. Our deputies are
assigned to protect Judges and courtroom personnel to
ensure their safety. Defendants, witnesses, attorneys,
jurors and spectators fall under the watchful eye of our
deputies. During high profile criminal cases public
emotion runs high, evidence must be protected, witnesses
and familys separated. The court must run at a smooth
pace to insure fairness for all concerned, as well as
the confidence that everyone feels secure.
In addition, The Sheriff's Office is responsible for
prisoner transportation from the Lawrence County Jail to
the courthouse. While in the courthouse our deputies are
responsible for the safe custody of the prisoners. In
these days were Americans need to be vigilant and on
alert, we ask all citizens to notify our office to any
suspicious activity or threats to the Lawrence County
Courthouse, Judges, Elected Officials or County
Employees. Please call:
