KERN COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE Detentions Bureau Policies and Procedures TITLE: SUBPOENA SERVICE ON VISITORS BY DETENTIONS STAFF C-1110 EFFECTIVE: REVIEWED: REVISED: UPDATED: July 9, 2003 07-11-24 07-11-24 APPROVED BY: Detentions Bureau Chief Deputy Cindy Cisneros REFERENCE: POLICY The purpose of this policy is to establish procedures by which Detentions Staff will assist the District Attorney’s Office in serving subpoenas on persons visiting incarcerated people at Detentions Bureau facilities. While the District Attorney’s Office has the primary responsibility for the service of subpoenas in criminal cases, persons who are actively avoiding service often visit Detentions facilities and these visits may present the only opportunity to serve the subpoena on such persons. DIRECTIVE #1 It is not necessary to complete a JMS Incident or a Crime and Incident Report on Subpoena Service except in the event of an unusual occurrence or circumstance at the time of service or when otherwise directed by the Shift Supervisor.
