Monroe County Task Force & Accreditation Program

Constable Accreditation

The Monroe County Constable's Association is proud to work with Office of the District Attorney. Through our partnership with the District Attorney's Office the Monroe County Constable Task Force and Accreditation Program has been organized.

The program is for qualified constables who are interested in broadening their participation in Monroe County’s criminal justice system. In addition to the duties and responsibilities as defined in Title 44 Chapter 71 (Constables), members of the Task Force are provided the opportunity to work with other local law enforcement agencies providing support such as security during the execution of search warrants, subpoena service, warrant service, prisoner transport, and other special assignments.
