witnesses into court and, afterwards, issues the judges' orders or rulings. courts,

people, organizations or agencies to help them accomplish a common goal. To do
this, the liaison officer must oversee communications, and coordinate efforts

delivers messages. On a broader level, messengers work in varying environments
where they are required to transport packages, mail and other items from one place

there is a huge amount of responsibility attached to it and a lot of travelling
involved. Messengers deliver documents and packages in a safe and confidential
manner.
