Quick Glance: Rising Power of Houston-Area Constables Amid Challenges

Becky Edmondson notices a white sedan following her home from the bank last summer.

Increasing numbers of HOAs, school districts, and local entities are opting for Harris County's contract deputy program to ensure fast response times and constant police visibility.

Harris County constables have doubled their deputy numbers in the last decade, raising concerns about the effective allocation of resources for public safety improvement.

Despite criticism, constables emphasize their proactive approach to law enforcement, focusing on prevention and deterrence while positioning themselves as a bulwark against lawlessness in the region.
