What is a South Carolina state constable?
There are different "Groups" of Constables in South Carolina. Group 1 Constables are full time Sworn Police officers. Examples of Group 1 Constables are university police officers, airport police officers. Group 2 Constables are honorably retired law enforcement officers. Group 2 constables may choose to work in law enforcement but are not required to. Group 3 Constables are sworn police officers that volunteer their time and are not paid. Their service is similar to reserve officers but with Statewide authority. Group 3 Constables may be requested by any chief of sheriff in South Carolina and can do most law enforcement activities. Basic Group 3 Constables must work in close proximity to a certified officer and Advanced Group 3 Constables can work autonomously. Advanced Group 3 Constables have more training and work requirements. All State Constables are commissioned by the Governor. The SC Law Enforcement Division (SLED) provides regulation and oversight for this program, which was created to provide quality manpower assistance to State, county and municipal police agencies during routine patrol, special events, and natural disasters. SLED is responsible for developing statutory and regulatory guidelines for this program's selection, training, and overall operation. For more information go to http:/www.constables.sled.sc.gov

What weapons did Medieval police use?
The weapons available to enforce the law were basically peasant farm tools. The law keepers of the Middle Ages were quite different from what we have today, and there were no official police organizations. The types of law keeping organizations differed from place to place as well. In England, for example, there were constables, who were able to get support by recruiting from local peasants, when that was necessary, and tithings, which were the groups of peasant families from which the constables got their support. A tithing was nominally a group of ten households and was held responsible, as a group, for maintaining the peace. If one of the members of a tithing got into trouble with the law, the tithing was held responsible for seeing that the person was available to be tried.
