The Civil
Enforcement Division is a state mandated function of the
Sheriff’s Office which has been in existence for over 200 years.
Its purpose is to serve and enforce various court mandates
issued out of Village, Town, County, State, or Federal courts
that require service or enforcement within Rockland County.
These mandates include Income Execution, Property Executions,
Sheriff Sales of Real and Personal Property, Family Court
Orders, Orders of Seizure, Orders of Attachment, Citations,
Orders to Show Cause, Warrants to Remove and Warrants of
Arrest.
The Civil Enforcement
Division directs the receipt and recording of all fees for legal
mandates, garnishee payments, and other seizures. In 2009, the
Civil Enforcement Division collected $3.7 million dollars for
plaintiffs (the majority being Rockland County residents).
Approximately $400,000 is generated as revenue for the County of
Rockland annually due to enforcement efforts. |
