C. Removal of Authorization to Perform Judicial Duties—Although a constable may only be removed or disciplined for acts of malfeasance or misfeasance upon petition of the District Attorney or an individual citizen (see 13 P.S. § 31), a constable's authorization to perform judicial duties pursuant to Section B above may be revoked at any time pursuant to the authority of the President Judge for the 56th Judicial District.

3. All complaints of constable misconduct, including complaints related to failure to comply with the Constable Manual, shall be promptly investigated by the Court Administrator. The results of the investigation shall be provided to the President Judge for further action, if any.
D. Minimum Requirements—Compliance with the provisions of this manual does not guarantee a constable the right to perform judicial duties for a Magisterial District Judge. Rather, the provisions of this section set forth the minimum requirements which must be complied with before a constable may be utilized by a Magisterial District Judge to perform judicial duties. Magisterial District Judges retain the right to assign constable work within their reasonable discretion provided the utilized constable is otherwise in compliance with this section.

Arrest Warrant—An arrest warrant for a misdemeanor/felony offense issued pursuant to Pa.R.Crim.P. 513 et. al by a Magisterial District Judge for private criminal complaints, including those filed by the Pennsylvania Department of Inspector General, and which have been approved by the District Attorney's Office.
Summary Warrant—A warrant issued by a Magisterial District Judge pursuant to Pa.R.Crim.P. 430. This definition includes both arrest warrants and bench warrants issued pursuant to Rule 430.
B. Summary Warrants and Misdemeanor/Felony Warrants for Private Criminal Complaints—The following procedures shall apply to the issuance and service of these warrants.
1. Magisterial District Judges possess the exclusive right, subject to the authority of the President Judge, to distribute warrants issued by them to a constable of their choice who satisfies the requirements of the C.E.T.B., this manual, and the Court Administrator's Office to perform judicial duties. Magisterial District Judges shall issue warrants where appropriate pursuant to the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure and prevailing law.
2. Upon issuance of a warrant, the Magisterial District Judge may assign the warrant to a constable authorized to perform judicial duties by the Court Administrator's Office. Unless the warrant is unassigned, no constable other than the assigned constable shall serve a warrant within 60 days of the initial issuance of the warrant by the Magisterial District Court, subject to the following:
a. If the subject of the warrant is in the custody of the Sheriff's Department as a result of contact between the subject and the Sheriff's Department unrelated to the warrant or in the custody of prison officials in which case a duplicate warrant may be issued to the Sheriff's Department. In the event the Sheriff's Department serves such a warrant, the Magisterial District Judge, upon notice of the same, shall promptly alert the assigned constable that the warrant has been served; or
b. If the subject of the warrant is present in the Carbon County Courthouse and, as a result of routine examination by the Sheriff's Department of any person appearing before the Court of Common Pleas or other information acquired by the Sheriff's Department, the Sheriff's Department learns that an individual present in or at the Courthouse is the subject of a warrant, a duplicate warrant may be issued to the Sheriff's Department. In the event the Sheriff's Department serves such a warrant, the Magisterial District Judge, upon notice of the same, shall promptly alert the assigned constable that the warrant has been served; or
c. If the subject of the warrant is in the custody of a constable who has exercised custody pursuant to another warrant issued and served in compliance with this manual in which case the original warrant shall be recalled and reissued to the constable who has custody of the subject; or
d. If the subject of the warrant is in the custody of a constable as the result of execution of another warrant issued by a Court official or Magisterial District Judge of another Judicial District of this Commonwealth in which case the original warrant shall be recalled and reissued to the Constable.
3. Upon service of the warrant, the constable to whom the warrant has been assigned shall immediately notify the issuing authority of service and promptly return a certified copy of the warrant to the District Court evidencing service of the warrant.
4. If the subject of the warrant is in the custody of a municipal or state police officer who, for any reason, has taken the subject before the issuing authority, the Magisterial District Judge shall promptly notify any constable to whom the warrant has been assigned that the warrant has been served.
5. During the normal operating hours of the Magisterial District Court, if a Constable reasonably believes he/she will be able to serve a summary warrant which has been assigned to another Constable, or is unassigned, within the next 12 hours, he/she shall contact the issuing District Court in which case a warrant may be issued to the Constable.
6. All assigned, unserved summary warrants shall be available for service by any constable authorized to perform judicial duties in the 56th Judicial District after the 60th day following issuance of the warrant. In all such cases, it shall be the responsibility of the constable seeking to serve the warrant to review the warrant and determine if the warrant is available to be served by that constable. A constable shall not request a warrant to be reissued unless imminent service of the warrant is anticipated. For purposes of this paragraph, imminent service requires a good faith belief as to the whereabouts of the subject of the warrant and the likelihood that the warrant will be served within the immediately subsequent 12-hour period.
7. When a summary warrant is issued pursuant to Pa.R.Crim.P. 430, upon service of the warrant, the constable shall either:
a. Accept a signed guilty plea together with payment in full of the amount of the fines and costs as stated on the warrant;
b. Accept from the defendant a signed not guilty plea together with payment in full of the amount of the collateral stated on the warrant; or
c. If the defendant is unable to pay the full amount of the fines and costs or collateral, cause the defendant to be taken without unnecessary delay before the issuing authority during normal court hours, or before the on-call Magisterial District Judge.
8. When a constable accepts fines and costs or collateral, the constable shall issue a receipt to the defendant setting forth the amount of the fines and costs or collateral received and promptly return a copy of the receipt, signed by the defendant and constable, to the proper issuing authority. Constables must return the warrant and any pleas, fines, costs, and/or restitution collected to the issuing authority no later than the close of business during the same business day; or if served after normal court hours, on the next business day. Constables should make every effort to resolve service of the warrant as per Pa.R.Crim.P. 430 before physically transporting the defendant to the proper issuing authority, or on-call Magisterial District Judge.
9. A constable shall not serve a summary warrant issued pursuant to Pa.R.Crim.P. 430 at a residence between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., or after 10:00 p.m. on the day preceding a legal holiday until after 6:00 a.m. of the day following the legal holiday.
10. A constable shall not attempt to serve a summary warrant or take the subject of such a warrant into custody unless in possession of a valid warrant.
C. Return of Unserved Warrants
1. A constable who has been issued a warrant pursuant to this manual shall return the warrant to the Magisterial District Court at the expiration of sixty (60) days of its issuance or 12 hours for those warrants issued pursuant to Chapter III, B(5), (6) if the constable is unable to execute or effectuate service within those time periods. Failure to return the warrant within the time period set forth herein may, at the discretion of the President Judge, result in a revocation/restriction of one's right to perform judicial duties.
2. A constable shall not, under any circumstance, make a duplicate or copy of any warrant for purposes of service.
D. Warrant Service on Incarcerated Parties
1. Unless expressly approved in advance by the Issuing Authority, President Judge or Court Administrator, warrant service on parties already incarcerated or otherwise in the custody of prison officials [is not authorized and] will not be compensated.
2. The Court may authorize payment in Summary Warrant matters in the event, through the efforts of a constable seeking a defendant, the constable learns that a defendant is incarcerated in a County jail outside of Carbon County but within the Commonwealth, and relays that information to the issuing authority.
a. The Magisterial District Judge must indicate that he/she was unaware that the defendant was incarcerated in a County jail outside of Carbon County but within the Commonwealth when the warrant was issued.
IV. Compensation
A. Preliminary Provisions—Constables shall be paid fees in compliance with the fee schedule set forth in 44 Pa.C.S.A. § 7161 or subsequent legislative act or rule of court. Constables shall not be paid a fee for any judicial act committed in violation of the provisions of this manual. Fees shall not be paid unless the request for fees is made in compliance with the procedures set forth in this chapter. When three or more warrants are served on the same subject of the warrant, compensation shall be paid for a maximum of three warrants served.
B. Reimbursement Procedure—Constables shall comply with the procedures of this section in seeking reimbursement for services. A request for reimbursement of services not in compliance with the procedures of this section may be denied on that basis.
1. Magisterial District Judge Warrants—Payment for the performance of judicial duties related to the issuance of a warrant by a Magisterial District Judge shall be submitted to the Magisterial District Judge who authorized the service on the form prescribed by the Court Administrator's Office or the Administrative Office of the Pennsylvania Courts. See Exhibit ''B'' attached to this manual. The Magisterial District Judge shall acknowledge receipt of the request by executing the same and promptly forwarding the request to the County Controller's Office for payment. Execution of a constable's fee request by a Magisterial District Judge evidences that the Magisterial District Judge authorized the service for which fee reimbursement is being requested.
2. All reimbursement forms shall be completed in their entirety. A form which is incomplete will be returned to the constable by the Magisterial District Court promptly and shall be considered as not having been filed for purposes of the time period set forth in Section IV(C) of this manual.
C. Time of Invoice—Request for payment of all fees shall be made to the Magisterial District Judge in the manner directed by this manual within 30 days of the date of the performed service. Although the County's liability for the payment of fees submitted after 30 days of the date of service shall be controlled by prevailing law, failure to submit requests for payment of fees within the time period set forth herein may result in the revocation of a constable's privilege to perform judicial duties.
D. Mileage—The following rules shall apply to reimbursement for actual mileage:
1. Actual mileage for travel by motor vehicle shall be reimbursed at a rate equal to the highest rate allowed by the Internal Revenue Service.
2. No constable shall undertake travel in the performance of judicial duties by any mode other than motor vehicle, unless prior written consent for the same is authorized by the Court Administrator.
3. In effectuating service of a warrant, actual mileage for travel by motor vehicle for purposes of the payment of fees shall be the number of miles from the issuing authority's office to the location where the warrant is served plus the number of miles to the location of commitment, if necessary, plus the number of miles from the commitment location to the issuing authority's office. Where commitment does not occur, actual mileage for travel by motor vehicle for purposes of the payment of fees shall be the number of miles from the issuing authority's office to the location where the warrant is served plus the number of miles to the location where acceptance of payment or collateral is made, plus the number of miles from this location to the issuing authority's office.
E. Hours Worked—All work that calculates reimbursement by the hour shall be rounded to the nearest quarter-hour.
F. Second Constable—Except for those circumstances described in 44 Pa.C.S.A. § 7161(c), upon prior approval by the issuing authority, when a second constable is utilized in the service of a warrant, the second constable shall also examine the warrant to ensure that service of the warrant is in compliance with the provisions of this Manual. The second constable shall follow all requirements as described in the Manual and will be held to the same standards as the constable who obtained the warrant for service.
V. Constable Code of Conduct
A. Introduction—A fair and independent court system is essential to the administration of justice. Although constables are not employees of the Commonwealth, the judiciary or any municipal agency, as an independent contractor, they provide services and aid to the judicial process.

A constable's conduct reflects upon the Court's commitment to serving the public. A constable performing judicial duties shall observe high standards of conduct so that the integrity and independence of the judicial system are preserved. The provisions of this code shall be applied to further those objectives. All constables performing judicial duties shall observe the standards of conduct set forth in this section. These standards however shall not limit or preclude, nor be interpreted to limit or preclude, other more stringent standards as established by law or by Court order or rule.

3. Constables shall not use the resources, employees, property, facilities, time, or any funds under their control while in the performance of their judicial duties to improperly benefit them or any other person.
E. Use of Force—A constable's use of force shall be consistent with Pennsylvania law and in compliance with training and education provided by the C.E.T.B. A constable shall never employ unnecessary force or violence and shall use only such force in the discharge of duty as is reasonable under the circumstances. While the use of force is occasionally unavoidable, every constable in the performance of judicial duties shall refrain from applying any unnecessary infliction of pain or suffering and shall never engage in cruel, degrading, or inhuman treatment of any person. A constable shall not fire, unholster, or otherwise remove a firearm from its holster in the performance of judicial duties unless the same is necessary for the defense of the constable or others in response to the threat or use of deadly force against the constable or another where the action is consistent with firearms training provided by P.C.C.D. In no event shall a firearm be unholstered for purposes of intimidation.
