MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Rockland County Sheriff’s Civil Division is dedicated to the protection of life, property and maintaining public confidence by providing fair, professional and cost-effective civil law enforcement when serving process, executing judgments and enforcing court orders within the community.

The Rockland County Sheriff’s Civil Enforcement Division has been in existence since the office of Sheriff was established in 1798. The unit now consists of eight Deputy Sheriff’s, (two division supervisors and a Chief) The division also has a clerical support staff of five civilian personnel.

The division’s main responsibility is to enforce court mandates that are issued out of the judicial system. The division recovers over 4.5 million dollars in judgments mainly for residents of Rockland County. Approximately $475,000 in revenue is turned over to the County’s general fund.

1985 brought civil service status to the sworn members of the unit.  The current Chief of the Sheriffs Office, Mary Barbera, was one of the first members to be hired under this status. Under her command, leadership and innovation, the division has seen many positive changes that displays the professionalism of its members.

In 2009, The Civil Enforcement Division was accredited by the New York State Sheriff’s Association and is one of only a select few Sheriff’s Offices to achieve this prestigious award. It is an independent confirmation that the Civil Enforcement Division exceeds the highest standards of professionalism and operational effectiveness.

We proudly stand as an integral part of the Sheriff’s Office today and are continually grateful for the public and Legislative support that allows us to serve the residents of Rockland County.
