HISTORY
OHIO BAILIFFS & COURT
OFFICERS ASSOCIATION
Part II, Section III
The name of the Association was amended in 2005 from the Ohio
Bailiffs and Court Officers Association, Affiliate of the International
Association of Court Officers and Services, Inc. to the Ohio Bailiffs
and Court Officers Association. The “affiliate” was deleted because
there iso longer a national association with this name. The National
Association has been absorbed into the National Sheriff’s
Association.
The name of the Association was amended in 1998 from the
International Association of Court Officers and Services, Inc - Ohio
Chapter to Ohio Bailiffs and Court Officers Association, Affiliate of the
International Association of Court Officers and Services, Inc. The
Association was formed as an Ohio Chapter in 1995 with
membership open to all court personnel, criminal justice professionals
and law enforcement officers. The Chapter evolved from two
associations: the Ohio Municipal Bailiffs Association which was
founded in 1976 which subsequently became the Ohio Bailiffs
Association in 1979 when its membership was opened to include all
Bailiffs, Court Constable/Bailiffs and Deputy Bailiffs from all courts of
record in Ohio.
The Association is currently broken down into seven regions located
geographically throughout the state. Each of these regions has a
director and regional reps that assist the members and courts within
their region.
