They work closely with Transportation Deputies to ensure inmates transported are properly booked out, appropriate paperwork provided, inmate personal property obtained, in addition to printing checks for money in inmate accounts. Not only do they maintain records for inmates but also for Detention Center employees.

This officer is responsible for supervising working inmates and for assigning duties to the working inmates/trustees in the kitchen, laundry, grounds maintenance and cleaning inside the facility.
Electronic House Arrest (EHA) Division
Electronic House Arrest Division (EHA, also called home confinement, home detention, or, electronic monitoring) is a measure by which a pre-trial detainee is confined by authorities to their residence. EHA is an alternative to confinement in the Randolph County Detention Center while offenders await trial.
EHA is typically court ordered by a judge; however, a magistrate may also require this as a condition of release. If so ordered, once an offender has posted his/her bond, he/she must complete an EHA application packet for approval. Upon approval, he/she must agree to the Conditions of Electronic Monitoring, which the officer reads to the offender in its entirety.
Offenders must provide an address and telephone number of the residence in which they will reside. EHA Officers will confirm information in addition to obtaining information for any other person(s) that may also reside at that particular address.
Offenders acknowledge and understand they must submit to random drug screens either by urine or blood sample. Offenders failing drug screens are in EHA violation and can be placed back into the Randolph County Detention Center to await trial or post additional bond.
Policy requires offenders to remain at their place of residence at all times unless given permission by EHA Officers, or by the court. Offenders approved to leave their residence for work, doctor's appointments, court or other approved locations must adhere to that specific location. In some instances, offenders are assigned a specific route of travel to and from work or other approved locations, as to avoid prohibited zones.
