The Criminal Administration Office of the Administrative Office of the
Courts serves as a focal point of all offices headquartered in the Pinellas
County Criminal Justice Center. This includes the Office
of the State Attorney, the Office
of the Public Defender, the Office
of the Pinellas Clerk of the Circuit Court, Probation & Parole,
Salvation Army, Bailiffs, Court Reporters, eight Circuit Judges, and six
County Judges and their Judicial Assistants.
The Criminal Administration
office staff is centrally located in the Criminal Justice Center. Calendars
for all divisions of circuit and county court are printed and distributed
by the five employees of this division. Some input for the calendars
originates in this office, while some calendars compiled by other agencies
are only printed and distributed.
Other types of calendars
may be produced and distributed on demand as dictated by the requirements
of judicial case management. During a one-month period in Fiscal Year
1998-1999, 103,016 pages of text were generated by the Criminal Administration
Staff. This office also tracks major felony case assignments to assist
the Criminal Administrative Judge in ensuring even distribution among
the felony trial divisions.
