The Strafford County Sheriff’s Office Transportation section is responsible for transportation to over one
hundred different locations throughout New England. These services are provided to our local District Courts,
Superior Court and Probate Court. We also transport all committals of Involuntary Emergency Admissions
(IEA). Most times these services are performed under very difficult weather conditions.

The Transportation Division is also responsible for transporting inmates that are housed at the Strafford
County House of Corrections who require medical services of a doctor, a dentist, or overnight local
hospital stays.

In addition, juvenile transportation and security is another responsibility and is an area of great concern that
mandates special consideration and proper handling pursuant to our juvenile laws. The transportation section
carries a great responsibility in this respect.
