The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is responsible for the expedient service/execution of all court ordered documents directed to the Sheriff of Jefferson County. Deputies assigned to the Units of Process, EPO/Warrants, Evictions/Executions and Vehicle Inspections provide this service.
Civil Process Unit
The Civil Process Unit is responsible for serving civil documents received from the courts. Over 75,000 civil process papers are received annually for service by JCSO deputies.
Warrants and EPOs
The critical and timely service of 7,000 protective and domestic violence orders received annually, is of the highest priority and the responsibility of the deputies assigned to this unit.
Vehicle Inspection
Kentucky State law requires all vehicles purchased in another state to be inspected by the Sheriff in the County where the vehicle is to be licensed. The inspection is intended to insure that the vehicle is "road worthy” and can be operated safely. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office provides four convenient locations for this process and annually inspects over 55,000 vehicles.
Evictions / Executions
This Unit receives thousands of court orders directing the Sheriff to evict people from their residential or commercial property or to seize items of personal property to satisfy delinquent debt.
