The Fresno County Sheriff's Office is a local county law enforcement agency that serves Fresno County, California, United States. ==Duties== The Sheriff executes warrants of arrest when issued by judges or magistrates. An order for the commitment of a defendant by the court is directed to the Sheriff, who must detain the defendant until the defendant is legally discharged. If the defendant escapes, the Sheriff is empowered to take all necessary steps to apprehend them, including breaking doors and windows of dwelling houses. When a judgment of death is rendered by the court, the warrant for execution is drawn and delivered to the Sheriff. In accordance with the law of 1891 the Sheriff is to deliver the defendant to the Warden of a State Prison for the execution which is carried out within the walls of the Prison in the presence of and under the direction of the Warden. Prior to 1891, those sentenced to death were executed within the walls of the County Jail in the presence of, and under the direction of the Sheriff. The Sheriff: * Executes all processes and orders of the court addressed to the Sheriff * Executes writs of attachment and safely keeps all defendant's property not exempt from execution * In some civil actions, levies and seizes defendant property liable to execution, real and personal, and sells it at auction to satisfy judgments * Keeps and manages the county jail and confines in the jail—males and females separately—persons who have been: * * Committed by criminal process and detained for trial * * Convicted of crimes and held under sentence * * Detained as witnesses * * Held under civil process or an order imposing contempt punishment Under the county budget law, the Sheriff submits a yearly statement of estimated receipts and expenditures of the office to the county auditor. Prior to 1952, the Fresno County Sheriff could keep fees paid for service of civil papers and warrants—and could keep any remainder of a flat rate received per prisoner in the jail. This was changed; now the Sheriff turns all monies over to the county general fund and receives a flat salary determined by the Board of Supervisors. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fresno County Sheriff's Office」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
