One of the main duties of the deputies assigned to the Circuit Court Security Division, is to maintain order during all criminal and civil proceedings held within the courthouse, while also providing for safety and protection of the visitors who have business at the courthouse on a daily basis.
The Caroline County Circuit Courthouse is staffed by sworn deputies and court appointed bailiff's. The duties of personnel assigned to the courthouse include, but are not limited to, searching all individuals entering the courthouse for weapons and other items which are classified as contraband immediately upon entering the building while passing through a metal detector, which is monitored by security personnel whenever the courthouse is open to the public.
The deputies also utilize a package X-Ray scanning machine for all packages, brief cases, and bags brought into the courthouse. In addition, there are also security cameras and alarms located throughout the building which are also monitored at all times.
