I want to take this time to thank everybody who worked so hard to make our Tubac event a success. Tubac was our most well attended event to date for the Arizona constables Association. Over 80 constables and Constable Employees attended the event. The training scenarios offered in Tubac were great success and we hope to offer more of that type of training in the future. Six different Sheriff Offices attended the special civil training that ACA provided, taught by Constable Marge Cummings and the attorney Mike Parham.

The Arizona constables Association has decided to offer at least one college scholarship per year to a qualified student. Eligibility for the scholarship is you must be a college student related to an Arizona Constable or Constable employee. The dates for applications and the amount of the scholarship will be announced in the future.

Our upcoming golf tournament is being held at the Arizona Biltmore resort in Phoenix on May 5, 2012 “Cinco de Mayo”. This golf tournament is being put on to help raise funds for the newly established Arizona constables Association scholarship fund. Please go to the events page for more information.

I look forward to seeing all of you at our event in Flagstaff the week of August 20, 2012. Until then please be safe while you're working.

CONSTABLE AL FREDERICK

      Al Frederick became Constable of the unincorporated town of Scottsdale circa 1920, and served in the post until his death in May 1950. For three decades, Frederick was the only lawman in Scottsdale, and helped many Scottsdale youth see the value in a law-abiding lifestyle. After his death, his wife, Ivy Donn Frederick, became Constable, at the time one of only two female law enforcement officer in the state of Arizona.

WELCOME!

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.

     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.
