Town Court & Justices
This is a very busy department in the Town. The Justice is on call 24/7 and is often called in the middle of the night to arraign defendants who have been arrested by the state and local law enforcement agencies.
The Court is secured by a peace officer and/or a walk through and hand held metal detector/screening. All persons entering the Courtroom must sign in with the officer prior to being seated. All Court sessions are digitally recorded.
Court sessions begin with the Judge hearing all traffic, criminal and summary proceeding/civil cases. After the regular session, the small claims and traffic trial are heard. Other special hearings are scheduled throughout the week according to Judge, Prosecutor, and Attorney availability and State mandated time schedules.
