Cumberland County Sheriff's Department
Judicial Division

The Cumberland County Courthouse stands at the corner of Broad and Fayette Streets in Bridgeton, the county seat. This structure and those which precede it have stood on this spot - or just a stone's throw away - for more than 200 years. From the time the first frame building was constructed in 1752 until the present date, the Court House has represented the hub of the county.

The officers that are assigned there are responsible for security of the building and all of it's rooms and offices. Their duties include (but are not limited to):

• The screening of all persons and packages that enter the court house
• Providing security in the hallways and courtrooms
• Controlling access to all areas of the courthouse, including both secure and public areas
• Prisoner care and custody while prisoners are in the courthouse.
