What is an associate court officer?

Associate Court Officers are professionals who assist in maintaining order and security within courtrooms and other judicial facilities. Their responsibilities include escorting judges, managing jurors and witnesses, ensuring the safety of court staff and the public, and sometimes handling court documents. They play a crucial role in supporting the smooth operation of court proceedings by enforcing rules and responding to emergencies when necessary. Associate Court Officers often work under the supervision of senior court officers or marshals and may be required to undergo specialized training.
