Associates Degree – Temple, TX & BCCC – Newtown, PA. Municipal Police training ACT 120 – November 1982 OCCUPATION: Police Officer Corporal New Hope Borough Police Department since July 1981. Retiring at the end of 2105 after 35 years of service. QUALIFICATIONS: I served in the US Army as an Intelligence Analyst from Oct 1976-1979 Active duty and inactive 1979-1982. ANSWER TO QUESTION: As a resident of New Hope Borough for several decades and now running for Constable, I feel the need for a mechanism for more supervision in this position. Right now Constables have no accountability. Some ideas would require them to fall under the supervision of District Justices. Constables serve warrants and civil papers but are only accountable to voters every six years. Other law enforcement agencies are scrutinized and have a system of oversight, why not Constables?
