Deputies and civilians in the Services Bureau work in Judicial Services/Court Security, Civil Enforcement, and Transportation.
Court security personnel serve as bailiffs and screeners and they are the first line of security for the city’s three courthouses and 13 courtrooms.

Services also coordinates schedules for security for the City of Newport News shelters during emergencies.
