 The
Sheriff
is the chief law enforcement officer of the county and custodian
of the county jail. The Sheriff's responsibilities cover the
entire spectrum of law enforcement--criminal investigations,
air and water accidents, and enforcement of traffic and drunk
driving laws. The Sheriff has concurrent authority with municipal
and township police in those political subdivisions, as well
as authority on state highways.
As custodian of the county jail, the Sheriff
is responsible to the courts for the safekeeping of all county
jail prisoners and must produce them in court for trial. The
Sheriff, or one of the Sheriff's Deputies, attends all sessions
of criminal trials in the Court of Common Pleas. The Sheriff
must exercise judgment when ordered by the Court and sell
at auction any property ordered to be sold for the satisfaction
of a judgment. The Sheriff is responsible for serving all
writs, summonses, and subpoenas issued by the Common Pleas
Court. The Sheriff conducts all sentenced criminals to prison
to serve their term in the penitentiary.
H.B.
12 - CONCEALED CARRY LAW
Pursuant to the new concealed carry license
law, all government
buildings must post a sign prohibiting anyone from carrying
a concealed
weapon onto the premises. Any private employer, business or
entity that
wishes to prohibit concealed carry must also post the sign
before
enforcement action can take place.
The following link is the sign format recommended
by the Allen County
Sheriff's Office Concealed Carry Committee. It meets the Ohio
Revised Code requirements and is available for anyone to download
for their use.
