State Constables, the best kept secret in PA.

[PickingPA]

I was told I'm getting sworn in later this month. Anything I should expect? I was only told a time and a courtroom. I'm sure it varies by County.

I planned on dressing nicely, khakis and a professional shirt/sweater. No tie or uniform.

Anyone have family attend? I'd prefer mine didn't lol

I highly recommend a PlaidShirt

Mine have been done at the counter of the clerk of court's office. No ceremony, very anti-climactic.

Same as being sworn in as a notary.

Montgomery Co has everybody show up and swears us in all at once. Not a horrible idea, but last time it took about 4 hours to get it going, and the judge gave a speech.

One small bit of community service that I do is to direct traffic for borough events. State law gives us that authority. Drivers don't know the difference between a constable and a cop, they just see a LEO with a badge and a gun. We're not allowed to put lights on our vehicles, though.

That’s because you’re not a real cop, like fire police.

Just got elected as a constable by filling in my name in the write in section, guess nobody else in my town wanted to do this. I have a full time job, but this sort of thing intrigues me. Never had any law enforcement experience before, should I accept this?
