The Sheriff’s Office will assist in dealing with County Court and District Court issues since the Courthouse still has to be opened for these events only. Deputies will be placed at the door to let only those inside who pertain to the Courts. A drop box will continue to be at the east entrance for people to leave items for the offices.
