Not exactly sure what you're asking, but you may be talking about the bailiff. A bailiff isn't a police officer, at least not locally to me, but he is the court appointed officer.

Additional: The duties of the uniformed officer(s) stationed in a court room is to maintain security, keep order, guard prisoner-defendants, attend to the jury, and supply judicial protection. These officers are known by the title of BAILIFF. They usually possess the powers of law enforcement officers in their jurisdiction, and are usually uniformed. Although they resemble police - as noted above - in some places this duty is not customarily performed by sworn police officers. Rather it can be performed by civilian employees of the court system - or, (in many other jurisdictions) by Deputy Sheriff's - or even State Marshalls.
