Best Answer

Duties of a Constable in the UK include:

- Keeping the peace

- Protection of Life and Limb

- Protection of Property

- Detection and Prevention of Crime.

In the UK, the lowest rank of police officer is Police Constable (aka PC) - it's not an elected position as it is in some other jurisdictions.

In theory, all PCs are appointed by and ultimately answerable to the Queen.
