History

Kendall County currently has four Constables who serve the four Justice of the Peace Courts in Kendall County.

Since Kendall County has a relatively small population the Kendall County Constable Offices currently do not have any deputies at this time. With the establishment of the 451st District Court and the tremendous growth being experienced in Kendall County, it appears in the future there will be a need for the addition of Deputy Constables to assist in the service of civil process, execution of criminal warrants, and traffic enforcement within the County.

Kendall County Constables daily duties include service of legal papers and orders to include Summons, Writs of Attachment, Writs of Possession, Writs of Execution, Writs of Garnishment, Writs of Sequestration, Distress Warrants, Orders of Sale, Subpoenas, Tax Suits, Eviction Notices, Truancy Notices, Foreclosures, Restraining Orders, and Hearing Notices from Justice, County, and District courts. Constables periodically conduct investigations required in the service of civil process or in locating individuals for arrest on criminal warrants. Constables are also responsible for the safekeeping of property seized under court order and the sale of such property as directed by the Court.

One of the most important duties of the Kendall County Constables is the security of the Justice of the Peace court in their respective precinct. Duties in this area include providing security when the court is in session, summoning jurors, transporting prisoners, and Justice of the Peace personal security. Finally, Kendall County Constables patrol their respective precinct for crime prevention, traffic enforcement, and assisting other law enforcement agencies. Kendall County Constables focus on being "Community Oriented Police" as much as possible.

Kendall County Constables continually attend professional civil process and criminal law enforcement training to stay current with local, state, and federal laws. Attending professional training is essential in fulfilling the duties and responsibilities required to be performed by Constables in today's ever-changing world.
