Civil Process includes all legal actions which are not criminal in nature. The Code of Virginia requires that notice be given to all parties involved in a civil court case. This is for the protection of the individual's rights. Deputy Sheriffs serve notice by contacting the persons and giving a written copy of the notice or summons to them. All Deputy Sheriffs assigned to patrol serve Civil Process, in addition to criminal law enforcement duties.
