Allegheny County Sheriff's Office 2008. All Rights Reserved
The Civil Process Division, located in Room 112 of the Allegheny County Courthouse, has the responsibility of processing and docketing civil court papers such as divorces, execution against real and personal property, orders of court and miscellaneous writs dealing with respondents and transportation of prisoners.
Each of these papers, numbering several thousands annually, needs to be formally recorded as they are served to the defendants and appropriate records of these transactions maintained.
Until now, all records were manually handwritten and maintained. In April 2001, the Sheriff's Office automated the division by installing several computers as well as a Civil Process tracking database. A project is underway, with an expected completion date of December 2005, to streamline the sharing of information between the Prothonotary and Sheriff's Office.
