The Sheriff’s Indemnity Bond is a guarantee that the sheriff or marshall will be indemnified if a defendant seeks damages against the sheriff for the seizure of wrong property, any damages to seized property, or executing a writ later to be found invalid by the court.
A surety bond protects the party requesting the bond, the Obligee, against any financial losses as a result of poor financial decisions, damages, unethical decisions, or a failure to follow state and local laws on the part of you, the Principal. The Indemnity to Sheriff Court Bond holds you accountable for your decisions.
By possessing a Indemnity to Sheriff Court Bond, you are telling your Obligee that you can be trusted as a Principal and that you stand behind your decisions.
