62 1. Policy:
63 11. The Washington County Sheriff's Office shall serve all papers provided by courts and other government agencies wherein there are no fees associated for service, or service fees have been waived. Examples include protective orders, summonses for criminal proceedings, and so forth.
64 11. WCSO will serve paperwork on inmates currently incarcerated at the Purgatory Correctional Facility. Such service will be provided to individuals without fee.
65 11. Those wishing to have paperwork served of a civil nature for which fees have not been waived will be referred to an outside service provider such as a constable.
66 11. Variance from this policy may be made by the Sheriff or his designee if required.
67 1. Rationale:
68 11. The WCSO recognizes it's statutory responsibility to serve paperwork in order to facilitate the processes of the legal system.
69 11. Inmates at PCF are restricted in their ability to receive paperwork from outside paper service professionals, therefore service by WCSO staff is required.
70 11. It is the practice of the WCSO to avoid competing with private business. Where fees are to be collected for service such fees should generally be paid to a private provider.
