WHO IS...AND WHAT IS...A CONSTABLE?

A statewide, constitutional, public elected peace officer under the statutes of the state. The constable is an integral part of the law enforcement community, involved in the delivery of justice. Constables are elected to four year terms. They work on a fee plus mileage basis at no expense to the taxpayer.
