Rural constables serve as the primary point of contact for law enforcement in remote areas, providing assistance and support to residents.
Constables work closely with municipal governments, attending town meetings and advising officials on public safety matters.
Some constables focus on code enforcement, inspecting properties for compliance with building codes and zoning regulations.
Elected constables in small towns enforce local ordinances, handle animal control issues, and mediate disputes within the community.
Special constables appointed by municipalities assist with crowd control at events, ensuring public order and safety.
