N.Y. Uniform City Court Act § 105: Powers and duties of non-judicial personnel

§ 105. Powers and duties of non-judicial personnel.

(a) Clerks. The chief clerk and such other non-judicial personnel as

shall be authorized by law, rule or order shall each have the power to

administer oaths, take acknowledgments and sign the process or mandate

of the court.

(b) Enforcement officers; police officers. The enforcement officer of

a city court shall be the sheriff of the county in which such court is

located; provided, however, in each city where, on June thirtieth,

nineteen hundred eighty-eight, public officers thereof were authorized

to designate the enforcement officer of the city court established

therein, such public officers may continue to exercise such authority

and to designate another person or officer as enforcement officer in

lieu of the sheriff. The enforcement officers of the court shall perform

the same duties as are performed by sheriffs in the supreme court and

shall have, within their territorial jurisdiction and subject to any

limitations imposed by this act or by other provision of law, 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. They shall also have, within their territorial jurisdiction, all

of the powers in criminal matters of a constable of a town in the state

of New York. It shall also be the duty of the police officers of the

city to execute all criminal processes and mandates of the court.

Neither an enforcement officer nor a police officer shall receive any

fee or compensation for the service or execution of any criminal process

or mandate issued out of the court.

(c) Records of enforcement officers. Each of the court's enforcement

officers shall keep a record of official acts performed by him upon or

in conjunction with the court's process or mandate. The rules may

prescribe the manner in which such records shall be maintained.
