About this office
A constable is an elected peace officer for a district within the county. In Tennessee the office's authority varies widely by county — in some it retains law-enforcement and civil-process powers, in others the role is limited or largely inactive.
Term length: 4 years.
This role calls for
- Knowledge of legal process service: serving civil papers and executing court orders where authorized.
- Peace-officer training where the county grants law-enforcement authority.
- Integrity and accountability, given that the office carries a badge and, in some counties, arrest authority.
- Availability to the district — a district-level office residents may call on directly.
