Positions in the Administrative Division include the Constable, Chief Deputy, Captain of Administration, Lieutenant of Administration, Constable's secretary and four divisional clerks. Some of the duties handled by this division include, supervising and coordinating the activities of personnel assigned to the other divisions, scheduling training for BRCCO personnel, researching and applying for grants, implementation and revision of policies and implementation of new laws and techniques of law enforcement that affect the office. The Operation Community Outreach Team (OCO) which is a specialized operation addressing crisis situations within our community is also under this division.

Court and Building Security

This division provides security for the Baton Rouge City Court building giving visitors, court employees and judges a safe and secure environment.

This division is also responsible for court security. As many as five divisions of court are in session at the same time, with at least one deputy assigned as bailiff to each. These deputies are responsible for keeping order in the court and for security and safety of all court personnel, judges, witnesses, inmates, victims and spectators during civil and criminal proceedings and trials.

The Front door is manned daily from the time the Courthouse opens until the time that it closes.

There is also a fine payment window located on the first floor of the courthouse.

The Jail Division

This division is responsible for the jail and its processes.

The city jail is designed to temporarily house all arrestees with city court warrants as well as prisoners transported from other institutions who have scheduled court appearances. Deputies observe the conduct and behavior of inmates to prevent disturbances and escapes. They inspect locks, bars, doors and other physical features for tampering during each shift. They physically search inmates and cells for weapons, valuables, drugs and other contraband.

All incoming prisoners are processed by seizing and recording personal property that is brought into the jail for safekeeping. Prisoners are photographed, fingerprinted using the AFIS system and the necessary booking paperwork is completed. Prisoners are held until they post bond, pay their fines or are transported to Parish Prison.

The Control Room operator also observes the movement of all persons into, within and out of secured areas of the jail. The Control Room operator also observes prisoners and deputies via closed circuit remote control and stationary television cameras strategically located through the jail and city court building, including courtrooms and common areas. In the event of an emergency the control room operator notifies other deputies of such and the location to which they should respond
