Law enforcement powers are granted by the constitutions of the individual states. If constables are granted the same powers as police officers are granted by the constitution in your state, then they can call themselves police. You would have to check the state constitution in a specific state to answer this.

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
