ANSWER TO QUESTION: As a resident of New Hope Borough for several decades and now
running for Constable, I feel the need for a mechanism for more supervision in this position.
Right now Constables have no accountability. Some ideas would require them to fall under the
supervision of District Justices. Constables serve warrants and civil papers but are only
accountable to voters every six years. Other law enforcement agencies are scrutinized and have
a system of oversight, why not Constables?
