Saint Clair County Sheriff's Office

Protecting life and property is the central priority of the Saint Clair County Sheriff's Office in Illinois, which calls itself the St. Clair County Sheriff's Department and pledges to respect the rights and dignity of everyone it meets with courtesy and compassion. Its mission statement aims to improve daily life across the county through cooperation with residents, within constitutional limits, by upholding laws, preserving order, easing fear and keeping surroundings safe. The department is organized around administrative services and corrections. Online tools include an inmate search, a sex offender search, commissary payments, rules for contacting inmates and mailing detainees, monthly crime call figures, a Stookey Township report, documents and forms, and a drug house tip page. Within administrative services, the Civil Process Section handles evictions, summonses and subpoenas across the county. A sergeant runs the section, a merit deputy enforces replevins, evictions and other orders, and civilian process servers cover set service areas and often shift their hours to finish service. Civil fees must be paid before service is attempted, by cash, check or money order, and no change is given.
