The Allegheny County Sheriff's Office (ACSO) is a local county law enforcement agency that serves both Pittsburgh and Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. It primarily provides court, warrant, bailiff, and jail/prisoner transport services for the county. In some jurisdictions it also supplements local law enforcement by providing reserve forces for backup.

History

The first sheriff to assume office was James Morrison in January 1789.[2]
