What Does a Bailiff Do?
Primarily, bailiffs provide security for those in the court room (especially the judge). Bailiffs are also responsible for announcing and enforcing court policies. If the judge instructs the bailiff to remove someone from the courtroom, the bailiff will enforce the order. The Bailiff must also prevent contact between jurors and the public (usually by escorting them from place to place).
