Will the Sheriff's Office preform a Civil Standby?

The Sheriff's Office occasionally gets requests for a deputy to accompany someone to a residence to retrieve or recover personal property. We will generally try to assist people at the time they call or come in, if the property exchange or retrieval can be handled peacefully within 30 minutes or less. The sole purpose of a deputy's presence is to KEEP THE PEACE. Any property over which ownership is in dispute should be handled in the courts. The deputy may conclude the Civil Standby at any time for any reason he deems necessary.
