In Pennsylvania a Constable is an elected law enforcement official, that executes and enforces civil, criminal and traffic warrants for the District Court instead of County Court. However, there are circumstances that permit a Constable doing work for the County Court. Constables can also assisted local police when circumstances warrants. The fees paid to a Constable are paid by the violator. This arrangement saves the taxpayers money while putting more law enforcement personnel on our streets.
Constables carry court orders from the minor court offices.
Constables are available to assist the needs of the office of the county sheriff and local police departments. Constables post delinquent tax notices and other service for the County Courts System. Constables transport defendants and prisoners to and from the county prison and the offices of the minor courts. The constitutional position of the Constable varies from state to state. Consult your Legislature for interpretation in your own state.
