Peacekeeping & Protective Services

The Office of the Penn Township Constable provides contracted, uniformed peacekeeping and protective services for businesses, organizations, institutions, events, and private clients.

These scheduled assignments provide a visible professional presence intended to deter disorder, protect people and property, help maintain a safe environment, and respond appropriately when incidents occur.

Each request is evaluated individually. Staffing, duties, equipment, scheduling, and the scope of service will be established before an assignment is accepted. Larger or higher-risk details may require additional personnel or coordination with the local police department, property owner, event organizer, or another appropriate agency.

Peacekeeping services do not replace the jurisdictional police department or emergency services. No protective service can guarantee that criminal activity, injury, property damage, or other incidents will not occur.

Fees may depend on the assignment’s duration, location, risk, required staffing, travel, equipment, and scheduling requirements. Minimum service periods and advance payment may apply.

Property Retrieval Standbys

A property-retrieval standby provides a professional on-site presence while an individual retrieves personal belongings from a residence, business, or other location.

The constable does not decide ownership of disputed property, authorize entry, provide legal advice, or permit removal of items contrary to a court order or the property owner’s lawful direction. Relevant orders, written agreements, and a list of the property should be provided before scheduling.

Warrant Service

Warrant services may be performed when lawfully assigned or authorized by a court or other appropriate governmental authority.

This service is not available as a private request to have another person arrested. Private individuals who have information concerning a warrant should contact the issuing court or the appropriate law-enforcement agency.

Custody Exchange Standbys

A professional, neutral presence may be provided during a scheduled child-custody exchange to help maintain order and document what occurs.

The constable does not mediate disagreements, interpret or modify custody orders, decide which party is correct, or forcibly transfer a child without appropriate legal authority. Participants remain responsible for complying with the applicable custody order.

Advance scheduling and a copy of the current custody order may be required.
