Training and Certification

Constables and their deputies play important roles during elections and in the minor court system.  Training allows them to perform their jobs at the highest level and be effective partners with their neighbors and community members.

Training provides instruction in several areas, including Pennsylvania crime codes and civil procedures, firearm education, physical training and defensive tactics, prisoner transport and custody, courtroom security, crisis intervention, and ethics.

On July 27, 2021, Constable Knapp successfully completed basic training and the initial certification requirements under Act 49.  View the Basic Training Certificate.  He also completed the basic firearms training administered under the same program and remains qualified with his duty weapons.
