Most students of criminal justice, and the general public as well,
think of policing along the three basic types of municipal,
sheriff, and state police. Little is known about other avenues of
police work, such as the constable. In policing textbooks, when a
position such as constable is mentioned, only a line or two is
presented, hardly enough to indicate it is of any importance. And
yet constables and numerous other alternative policing positions
are of vital importance to law enforcement in Texas and in other
states. Constables, Marshals, and More seeks to remedy that
imbalance in the literature on policing by starting with the state
of Texas, home of more than 68,000 registered peace officers. Lorie
Rubenser and Gloria Priddy first lay the groundwork for how to
become a peace officer. A guest chapter by Raymond Kessler
discusses legal issues in alternative police work. Rubenser and
Priddy then examine the oft-overlooked offices of constable,
railroad police, racing commission, cattle brand inspector,
university police, fire marshal, city marshal, Texas Alcoholic
Beverage Commission, bailiff, game warden, and district/county
attorney investigators. This book will be useful for any general
policing courses at both the undergraduate and the graduate levels.
It will provide more in-depth analysis of these lesser known law
enforcement positions and will spur student interest in employment
in these areas. "There are so many law enforcement agencies in the
State of Texas that we know so little about, such as game wardens,
the constables, or the railroad police. At last we have an
informative book that explains the legal and historical aspects of
these positions and explains the roles and duties of these officers
in Texas law enforcement. This is a valuable book for anyone
interested in the more unusual Texas police agencies."-Willard M.
Oliver, criminal justice, Sam Houston State University
