My name is Scott Blake, and I was elected as the Hassayampa Constable in 2014 and again in 2018 in Maricopa County. Now you are saying Constable? I didn't even know we had them. In a nutshell, Constables are elected peace officers who serve a four year term and are elected by the voters of their Justice Precinct. Constables are the executive branch, serving Warrants, Orders of Protection, Writs of Restitution and Subpoenas.
The state of Arizona has had some famous Constables in its history. Wyatt and Virgil Earp served as Constables. After he was elected as a Constable, Wesley Bolin served as Justice of the Peace, Secretary of State, and then on to the Governors office.
As a Boy Scout, I learned one of my greatest strengths was serving others within my community, while earning the rank of Eagle Scout. I graduated with honors from high school and then earned an electrical degree. In 1988, I worked 10 to 12 hour days providing community services for two years while leading groups of other volunteers as a trainer, district leader, zone leader, and assistant to the president.
I owned my own carpet cleaning business in the west valley for 30 years. I grew the business through franchises and employees. While doing this, I learned important principles and values that I am implementing into the office of Constable.
I serve on the executive board of the Arizona Constables Association, as the President, and the Constables Ethics, Standards & Training Board. In the past, I have also worked with the National Constables and Marshalls Association board of directors.
I am married and have six children and three grandchildren. I divide my time between work, family and church.
Community service continues to play a role in my life, teaching civilian response to active shooters (AVOID-DENY- DEFEND) and I recently completed CERT (Community Emergency Response Training).
I will continue to maintain a close working relationship with the Justice of the Peace, administering the law ethically and without prejudice to make our community safer and stronger.
I am accessible via multiple social media platforms, the links to those can be found on my website www.arizonaconstable.com or send me an email at scottblakeforconstable@cox.net
I LOOK FORWARD TO BUILDING A SAFER COMMUNITY TOGETHER!
