A Sheriff Jail Clerk under general supervision of the Jail Administrator, performs a variety of clerical activities following well- defined departmental office procedures. A Sheriff Jail Clerk working at the front desk of the Muskegon County Jail, receives visitors for both public and professional inmate visitation, directing them to the appropriate visitation site; monitors the jail video visitation system and answers all incoming calls. An employee in this class operates the Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN) terminal, performing data entry and assisting various law enforcement agencies in supplying and receiving information. A Sheriff Jail Clerk often works under time constraints due to the sensitive nature of the documents (i.e. bench warrants, arrest warrants, court orders, etc.) A Sheriff Jail Clerk is expected to exercise judgment and knowledge obtained on the job, referring technical matters to supervisors for decision and direction.
