Court Security

Court Security services for San Bernardino County 's (86) Superior Courts is managed by Captain Dale Mondary. He oversees three regional commands covering eleven court facilities in San Bernardino, Redlands, Juvenile (East Valley Area); Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, Chino (West Valley Area); and, Big Bear, Victorville, Barstow , Joshua Tree and Needles (Desert/Mountain Area). The contract with the Superior Courts requires 162 employees countywide and an annual operating budget in excess of $20 million dollars. This court security contract for the State of California is the largest such agreement the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department administers.

Day-to-day responsibilities for court security operations include the successful movement of approximately 200,000 inmates annually, and the protection of over a quarter of a million visiting members of the public to the court complexes. The professional bailiffs and custody officers maintain control and decorum within the courtrooms and court facilities. Site supervising sergeants and area command lieutenants also manage the development and execution of local court security plans to include judicial protection strategies and measures for dealing with high-profile trials.

Additional divisional concerns like training, contract compliance, customer satisfaction and strategic planning are coordinated through an Executive Officer's position at the department's Court Services Administration Offices.
