The Office of the Sheriff is responsible for security at the Camden County Hall of Justice. There are 28 Superior Court Judges who conduct trials and other proceedings in criminal, civil and family court matters. The Sheriff's Officers assigned to the Hall of Justice are detailed for courtroom security, transportation of inmates to and from the county jail as well as general security in the building.
Officers also maintain a metal detector at the entrance to the building.
This scans all who enter for concealed weapons. In an average month over 1,000 inmates are transported to and from the county jail. The overwhelming majority of these individuals are incarcerated for indictable offenses. They are held in secured holding cells. It is also the responsibility of the Office of the Sheriff to guard youths who are brought to court from the Camden County Youth Center.
