After making an arrest, who must a constable notify?

When a constable makes an arrest, the primary obligation is to notify a full-service police department. This is essential because the police department has the authority and resources to handle the subsequent processes that follow an arrest, such as booking the suspect, conducting investigations, and managing any immediate safety concerns for the community.

The involvement of the police department ensures that the necessary legal procedures are followed, and appropriate charges are filed if needed. It also helps maintain a cohesive law enforcement framework, as constables generally operate in collaboration with local police departments for matters involving direct law enforcement and public safety.

Other entities, such as local government, the court system, or community service boards, may be informed later in the process or may have roles in different aspects of law enforcement or legal proceedings, but the immediate notification after an arrest falls to the full-service police department.
