Pros
1
Responsive and helpful in emergency situations
“Whenever I need something down port, I call the constable line instead of 911 and the constables come immediately. I'm so grateful for the village and for their hard work. Thank you!”
2
Friendly and professional in providing assistance
“The constables are always a huge help and super friendly. In 23 years I have never had a bad experience with a single one of them. Thankful for their support and security in our little town.”
Cons
1
Lack of proper law enforcement authority and training
“They have the title of "Constable" yet they have no lawful police authority. None. Their duty is to enforce the Port Jefferson Village code, so while they can write you a parking ticket they have no authority to arrest you, to detain you, to question you, or even to write you a speeding ticket. So why are they carrying firearms? The fact that these part-time code enforcement employees carry firearms is very strange and more than a little bit creepy.”
2
Unprofessional and aggressive behavior towards the public
“Aggressive, and unprofessional, does not know Basic law based on his actions as city attorney, I would not recommend him to anybody”
3
Potential corruption and abuse of power
“These corrupt cops are a disgrace to the badge.”
