Civil Process

The Civil Process Unit of the Rhea County Sheriff's Department consists of three full time officers and they are responsible for serving all civil process and criminal warrants directed to them by the court system.  These papers include, but are not limited to, subpoenas, notices orders, complaints, and summonses for both civil and criminal cases. The unit is also responsible for supervising evictions, levies, seizures, and public auctions.  Due to the nature of the job, these deputies often find themselves committed to roles usually performed by patrol officers, such as answering complaints and assisting with traffic accidents.
