Independence Greenbrier Constable

Over their two-year term, a constable has the same law enforcement authority as a sheriff in their township. They have arrest power, can write citations, and respond to accidents. A 2007 law, however, placed training requirements on constables if they wanted to carry a gun on duty and have access to the Arkansas Crime Information Center. State law also requires them to wear uniforms while on duty and label any patrol vehicle with "Arkansas Constable" on it. They are required to turn over any fines collected from citations to the county.Under state law, they no longer have authority to appoint deputies. They are required to keep records of any citations and administrative records, similar to requirements placed on sheriffs.https://www.uaex.uada.edu/business-communities/ced-blog/posts/2022/may/what-is-a-constable.aspx

Constable is a form of law enforcement where the person that is elected to that position can help law enforcement with their duties.
I have been a certified law enforcement officer since 1990. I have covered almost every division in the Sheriff's Department and now at the Batesville Police Department. I have been a Corporal, Sgt., and a Lt. I was the head of the Criminal Investigation Division for the Sheriff's Office for 13 years. Working all types of crimes. I was also a member of the Sheriff's Department SWAT team.
I plan on answering calls from the residence of Independence County.
