A career as a Court Bailiff Officer is more than a job, it is an excellent career path for those who want to protect others and develop a long lasting career in law enforcement. Court Bailiff Officers primarily provide protection and maintain order in the courthouse (for judges, attorneys, witnesses, jurors, prisoners in custody, defendants on bond and the general public.) This exciting career requires that the successful candidate have an excellent understanding of human behavior and those factors which influence or cause behavioral changes. The applicant must be able to assess environmental factors, determine how they will affect the security and safety of the courtroom, and take appropriate action.
