N.Y. Uniform Justice Court Act § 110: Enforcement officers

§ 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.
