Randolph Warm Springs 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

Law enforcement within the township
I have served in this position for over ten years, completed all required annual training, and satisfied the CLEST requirements for law enforcement certification. It is also worth noting that, technically, no specific training or skills are mandated for this elected position.
My plan is to continue providing law enforcement services to the township's citizens, in cooperation with county and state law enforcement agencies.
