The enforcement officers shall perform the same duties as are performed by sheriffs in courts of record and shall have, within their territorial jurisdiction and subject to any limitations imposed by law or by the rules, such power to serve and execute the processes and mandates of the court as a sheriff has with regard to the processes and mandates of the supreme court.
