Sheriff's office reports fewer foreclosure-related evictions

Chief Deputy Sheriff James Black told the Police Accountability Board he had no major updates but answered questions about the sheriff's role in serving court-related evictions. He said the office handles circuit-court-related and foreclosure-related evictions and that the volume of such evictions has fallen significantly compared with pre-2020 levels. "We are serving significantly less evictions than we have," Black said, listing changes to scheduling and noting that some service dates are booked weeks out.
