About Pennsylvania State Constables
The Office of Constable is one of Pennsylvania's oldest elected law enforcement positions, with a history dating back to the Commonwealth's founding. Today, constables continue to serve an important role in the justice system by executing warrants, serving legal process, transporting prisoners, providing courtroom security, and performing other duties authorized by law and the courts.
Each constable operates independently and is elected directly by the voters of their municipality. Whether serving the courts or assisting members of the public with lawful requests, Pennsylvania constables are committed to providing professional, reliable, and impartial service while upholding the laws of the Commonwealth.
