Services Bureau

The Services Bureau is responsible for Judicial Services/Court Security, Civil Enforcement, Transportation, Workforce, and Community Relations.

Each year over 200,000 people enter through one of the city’s 3 separate court buildings and 13 different courtrooms. The Sheriff’s Office is responsible for the safety and security of these buildings. Deputies are also responsible for serving over 69,000 court documents each year.

The Service Bureau oversees the movement of incarcerated individuals within and outside the City of Newport News for various appointments as well as extraditions from other states.

Using non-violent incarcerated individual’s, the Sheriff’s Office Workforce provides services to the city and city departments in areas such as tent setups for city festivals and city events, barricade and fence setups for city festivals and events, vegetation control, liter removal, and furniture removal. The Sheriff’s Workforce provides these services, saving taxpayers and the city money where these services would normally be contracted out.
