We generally write about a lot of “heavy” stuff. Things that make you THINK … things that make you WORK … and often things that might not agree with your current world view … like telling you your “heroes” (be them RINOs or SCFC) that say they are conservative might not be telling you the truth. You know … “Watch what they DO, not what they SAY.”
But today we want to share with you something that we learned about a few years ago from a SC State Senator who is a one … but we have also seen a few other politicians that are as well …. so there must be something to it …
… and it is a SC State Constable!!!
Many of us have gotten our Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP) … and then we ask ourselves, “what’s next?” Some of us may want to be more civically / officially involved … but are too “old” to enlist in the National Guard or Reserves … or don’t want to work full time for state or local government … or don’t (yet) want to RUN FOR OFFICE (HERE) … this might be a good outlet for that civic duty energy.
State Constables are appointed as sworn peace officers authorized to enforce the Laws of the State as specified by law and their Commissions. It is all volunteer, and they primarily assist and support various law enforcement agencies as an extra police officer, as needed. You can assist with law enforcement at high school or college sporting events, festivals, join police while on patrols … and some have even provided behind the scenes security for President TRUMP when he is in town. You want to get involved, this could be it.
REQUIREMENTS: Know upfront that it is not simple task as there is an extensive training requirement and a thorough background search. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Training Council must certify all State Constables as qualified for public service as a law enforcement officer … and again, this is all volunteer, so be prepared to pay for your training and gear. It’s not like an old western movie where you are simply “deputized” … this is serious stuff and serious training.
Check it out … and let us know what you think (especially if you are or have been a SC Constable) … we just wanted everyone to be aware that it exists as an option.
