THE POSITION
Legal Process Clerks, under general supervision at the higher level and close supervision at the lower level, receive, examine, prepare and process a variety of legal documents in the Sheriff's Office. They also assure adherence to legal procedures, collect filing fees, perform support duties related to law enforcement functions and related work as required.
This is a specialized clerical class, distinguished from the Specialist Clerk’s series in that the Legal Process Clerk assigned to the Warrant Section of the Sheriff’s Office must be certified by the Department of Justice as Full Access Operators, able to inquire, enter or update information through the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) and National Crime Information Center (NCIC) . Legal Process Clerks perform specialized, complex, technical law enforcement functions, and perform an independent program function in support of the badge personnel with the Sheriff’s office. They are responsible for maintaining all entries made in a wide range of law enforcement computer systems. Legal Process Clerks are required to have a thorough knowledge of multiple automated telecommunication systems at the county, state and national level. Legal Process Clerks, assigned to the Civil Unit are responsible for eliciting information from or assisting people in various stressful situations, such as evictions, having their wages or bank accounts garnished, and legal actions being brought against them.
The lower level is a training class under close supervision. Incumbents at the higher level are expected to perform their work with minimum supervision. After one year at the training level, incumbents are expected to promote to the II level of this flexibly staffed classification.
