New Hampshire is one of five states with the highest concentration of bailiffs in the country, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Bailiffs ensure order and safety during legal proceedings. They may be responsible for guarding the jury during deliberation, escorting prisoners and protecting everyone within the courtroom.

They may also have to provide safety and security in state hospitals and prisons. If a bailiff career interests you, check out the list of criminal justice schools in New Hampshire for information on law enforcement or similar degrees.
