American Constables

In the north and in New England there were more constables and in the south there were more sheriffs than constables. Constables were not sheriffs, they were more crime solvers and dectors, where sheriffs were in charge of the county jails. As there were sheriffs and high sherifs, there were no high constables, but only constables.
