Knox County has dumped the elected position of Constable. The Position of Constable is the oldest Law Enforcement job in this country! Knox County has eliminated this position. Could the reason be that a Constable of issued a ticket to an election official or a council member? Probably these elected members gets paid for their elected position while the Constable didn't.
The Constable is not issued a cruiser, a Uniform or Weapons. The Constable pays for this on their own. Constables pay for everything out of their own pockets. Leaving the Tax Payer a total bill of 0 dollars and 0 cents. I personally wish more elected offices would follow this model.
They say it is because of misconduct of the few then, why don't we abolish the Knoxville Police Department because of the few officers every year that get caught beating unarmed suspects?
