Court Security and Civil Division

The Court Security and Civil Division consists of sworn and civilian employees who are assigned to a multitude of tasks. The division covers a broad area of responsibilities from Civil Deputies, and Civil Clerks.

The Civil Deputies are charged with the security of Pender County's two courthouses and civil paper service. The Bailiffs, along with security, also transport the inmates to and from court for their court proceedings. The Civil Deputies also serve civil papers such as Foreclosures, Summary Ejectments, Writ of Executions, Writ of Personal Property, Writ of Real Property, Criminal Summons, Civil Summons, and numerous other court documents.

The Child Support Deputy locates and serves parents in violation of child support court orders.

Our Civil Clerks document and file all criminal and civilian paperwork handled by the Pender County Sheriff's Office. This paperwork includes warrants, civil papers, traffic citations, child support orders, incident reports, and investigative case files.
