The New York State Sheriffs' Association Institute recently held a week-long 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, and 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, and these items were reviewed at the school.
Deputies who are experts in civil enforcement law participated as instructors for the school. Thirty-six deputies and other staff from Sheriffs' Offices around the State attended the program. This school is the first week of the Institute's basic civil school, and a second week of instruction will be completed shortly. The school is required training for counties seeking civil office accreditation, a program provided by the New York State Sheriffs' Association.
The Sheriffs' Association Institute has provided civil law enforcement training for thirty years, and has trained over 1,500 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 for the school by a Sheriff.
