The Transport Unit is charged with transporting people under the jurisdiction of the county and state, including inmates bound for hearings in outer division courthouses, convicted prisoners bound for correctional facilities, and mental health patients bound for court hearings or being transferred from various treatment facilities.

 

In a typical year, the Transport Unit logs approximately 360,000 miles and safely transports more than 13,000 inmates and mental health patients pursuant to court orders. The Unit also typically completes 400 annual transports for local police departments and provides transport services to detention and detoxification centers.
