Reagan Posted September 27, 2020 Report Posted September 27, 2020 OK, what's the purpose of the Constable position here in Jefferson county? What do they do exactly that police and sheriffs can't do? Thoughts?! Quote

AggiesAreWe Posted September 27, 2020 Report Posted September 27, 2020 Paper work. Carrying out civil duties. You know, delinquent notices, stuff like that. Quote

They serve as the law enforcement arm of each precinct’s justice of the peace. JP’s in effect serve as small claims court, which are vital to people who seek justice in situations where a lawyer is not cost effective or needed. One example of a constable’s job is serving and carrying out evictions. In short, you aren’t going to be able to do away with a position that has existed in this state for almost 200 years because one asked you to wear a mask. 😂 Hagar 1 Quote
