When a Constable Wants Assistance
Constables are paid by a citizen or an attorney to serve the processes they have. The Sheriff's Office has no legal authority to serve or be present at the time of service of those orders.
Deputies may stabilize the situation if a breech of peace has occurred involving a constable. The case should be handled as any "keep the peace" call.
The Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office outlines directions for deputies to refer to regarding requests for assistance from a constable. (Law Enforcement Operations Manual #474)
