During our 2011 Flagstaff summer conference, Secretary of State Ken Bennett, spoke to the assemblance on several topics including honoring our Arizona veterans. Mr. Bennett discovered that a gun (50-66' in length) which had been installed on the USS Arizona was discovered in storage these past 70 years in Virginia.

     After negotiating, Arizona will soon be getting one gun from the Arizona and one gun from USS Missouri, in time for our centennial next February. Many entities have already stepped up in the effort to provide the guns final resting emplacement on the lawn to our state capitol and the Arizona Constable Association recently voted to make a generous donation to help make this possible.

The association with the help of AZPOST is getting ready to put on our winter training seminar. The event will be held January 24th, 25th and 26th in Tubac, Arizona. The schedule and registration form can be found under events. This event is going to emphasize participation in training scenarios.

There will also be a training class held for Sheriff Office personnel on writs Constables don’t traditionally do, such as real property seizures and tax collection. This section is being sponsored by AZPOST.

Rooms in Tubac are going fast, so make your reservations soon.

I want to wish all of you a great new year!

We had a great event this August in Flagstaff. I want to thank all those who attended including the five county sheriff offices that had deputies in the class. The ACA was able to provide over 20 hours of training that met ARS requirements. I want to thank AZPOST for all their help in putting together the classes. The post event questionnaires showed that everyone thought the role playing and situation classes were the most helpful. The civil training class taught by Attorney Michael Parham was very informative. The ACA wants to thank Sectary of State Ken Bennett for speaking at our awards dinner.

The dates for the next training dates in Tubac are January 24th thru 26th 2012. We will have the registration forms and class schedule up in the next month

Welcome to the Arizona Constables Association web site. This site has been developed to assist you with learning more about this elected position.

Did you know that the job of a Constable varies depending on the county he or she works in?

Constables have been a part of Arizona since the days of the Wild West. On our About page, the constable's rich history will take you on a journey from territorial days to present times.

Although the Ethics Committee is a separate entity from the Association, several association members serve on the Ethics Committee, which oversees the conduct of Arizona's Constables.

Under the Members Section you will find a listing of the current members of the Association and their biographical information.

We hope you enjoy this site and if you have any further need to contact a board member, please see the Board Members page.
