Eviction LEO involvment?

[workmangc]

Hello All,

We are going through the process of evicting the tenant in this thread.

The court date is next week, and we are expecting the tenant to not show and receive a judgement. Our lawyer has said that once we have the judgement we can then go to a local LE office (sheriff or police) and have the tenant removed.

Does anyone have any experience in this matter. The tenant is located in PA. Frackville, PA to be specific.

Any info you have regarding the LEO involvement of the eviction would be great.

Thanks again.

Your lawyer should have explained this all to you. You can hire a LEO to serve the papers. But what happens after getting them served is dictated inside those papers. They can still have a few days before a Leo can remove them and their stuff from the property.

Thanks, how does one go about hiring a LEO?

Regarding the lawyer, she is in the U.S. and we are in Germany. This information was half relayed by a family member who is our POA to handle transactions with the property.

All you need to do is contact the local department. They may or may not allow it to be done on duty or not. These types of things are how the officers earn extra money (overtime). Even off duty they are still sworn officers and can show up in uniform. They take Saturday jobs here working construction sites and in banks as deterrents on their off days. Generally the jobs get picked by seniority and you will get a good officer to do what you need. All of my local churches hire them to handle traffic in and out every weekend.

Nearly all departments are 24/7 so call timing should not matter. If the first person does not have the answer ask for the next guy or gal in line to call you back.

That is extremely dependent on location. Many places have Deputies serve civil papers like eviction notice while on duty--its simply a court order the same as any other they serve. Many agencies, particularly in more professional parts of the country, require that all side jobs that officers undertake in uniform be coordinated through the agency or that the agency is paid for the work and they pay overtime to the officer. It's a BFD when an off duty cop bouncing at a strip club ends up in a shooting, you know?

Deputies handle the eviction notices in the County and Bailiffs for Municipal court handle the notices in the City around here.

On duty, part of their daily duties.

here the Sherriffs dept serves the papers and supervises the eviction. They do not remove the items from the home, they just supervise the actual process and moving company as the property is removed etc. Very basic run down for you. Here it is extremely difficult to evict, it is an absolute pain.

Court was today. Tenant failed to show, default judgement in our favor.

More to follow as the process unfolds.

It turns out the tenant called the courthouse @ 12:00, which was when the case was heard, and said "she was sick and throwing up". She asked for a continuance....my lawyer said no.

All that matters is what the judge said.

Good clarification, but the judge agreed also.
