Board Supervisor Adelita Grijalva tells us about the struggles Pima County constables are facing. DenelleConfair has the full story
Last month, Presiding Justice for Precinct 1 Constable John Dorer turned in his letter of resignation after he says he was attacked while helping serve an eviction notice.
"We have two constables doing the job of all of them right now because they're coming to work and there's a lot of different reasons for that," Adelita Grijalva, Pima County Board Supervisor said. "You know, I think a lot was brought to the attention of our community at large the risk that our constables take with the horrible passing of constable Martinez-Garibay," Grijalva said.There are 12 different precincts. To qualify, you must be 18 or older and live within the district.
"What I'd asked for from legal is some advice on what is it that we would have to do in order to change how constables are appointed," Grijalva said."Because right now that system is certainly broken."
