Arkansas constables

“A person can hold the office without being certified, but he has limited authority [without certification],” Blount said. “The majority are not certified.”


Those constables with certification have the authority to make traffic stops, arrest people and keep the peace in their townships.

“In the district, the sheriff and constable have the same authority,” Blount said. “The constable does not have to answer to the sheriff.”
