Interview with Kathy Hennessy Riley of the State Commission of Investigation
A scathing report released by the State Commission of Investigation says it's time for New Jersey to abolish the position of constable. The report, which came out late last year, finds constables are outdated relics that don’t have a place in modern law enforcement. The commission found that in some cases constables take questionable and even unlawful actions that can endanger the public.
