SECTION 110
Enforcement officers
Uniform Justice Court Act (UJC) CHAPTER 898, ARTICLE 1
§ 110. Enforcement officers.
Unless the rules shall otherwise provide, and subject to such
variations as they may provide, the enforcement officers of the court
shall be, and shall have such powers and duties as are provided in this
section and § 701 of this act. Each of such officers shall keep a record
of official acts performed by him upon or in connection with the court's
process or mandate. The rules may prescribe the manner in which such
record shall be maintained.
(a) Civil matters. In civil matters, in addition to such other persons
as are designated by the municipal board to be enforcement officers, the
enforcement officers shall be, in the case of:
1. a town court, the constables of the town and the sheriff of the
county;
2. a village court, the police officers, marshals and constables of
the village and the sheriff of the county;
3. a court established in and for a city and governed by this act, the
sheriff of the county.
The enforcement officers shall perform the same duties as are
performed by sheriffs in courts of record and shall have, within their
territorial jurisdiction and subject to any limitations imposed by law
or by the rules, such power to serve and execute the processes and
mandates of the court as a sheriff has with regard to the processes and
mandates of the supreme court.
(b) Criminal matters. In criminal matters any peace officer, acting
pursuant to his special duties, or police officer to whom the process or
mandate of the court is delivered within the county or any adjoining
county shall be the enforcement officer of the court. Each such officer
shall have, within his territorial jurisdiction, the powers and duties
of a constable of a town in criminal matters. No such officer shall
receive any fee for the service or execution of any criminal process or
mandate issued out of the court.
Unless the rules shall otherwise provide, and subject to such
variations as they may provide, the enforcement officers of the court
shall be, and shall have such powers and duties as are provided in this
section and § 701 of this act. Each of such officers shall keep a record
of official acts performed by him upon or in connection with the court's
process or mandate. The rules may prescribe the manner in which such
record shall be maintained.
