Kentucky Peace Officer Training Requirements

Some comprehensive information in response to Charles Marshburn: Training for Adair County Constables Click headline to view full requirements.

By Jason Rector

KY Constable Association, Inc.

Charles,

In regards to your inquiry relating to Training for Adair County Constables. Not all Adair County Constables attend and obtain trainings along with the same, not all Constables across the Commonwealth obtain training. As for accountability, they are elected officials and being elected by the people, they work for the people that elect them as any elected official.

To give you further specifics on Training for Constables, you can see below that they are exempt from training by statute, however the State Constable Association highly encourages Constables to obtain training. The State Constable Association also continues working with Kentucky Legislature to establish some basic training requirements for the position of Constable in the Commonwealth. Hopefully this answers your inquiry and please feel free to visit kentuckyconstableassociation.org or call 502-882-0522 if you have further questions or need more specifics.
