THE CRITICAL ROLE OF A MASSACHUSETTS CONSTABLE
More Than Just Serving Papers

In Massachusetts, the role of a Constable is often misunderstood. A sworn Massachusetts Constable holds specific legal authority that directly impacts court cases, evictions, and public safety. In Suffolk County and throughout Boston, this role is essential to ensuring the justice system functions properly.

WHAT DOES A MASSACHUSETTS CONSTABLE DO

LEGAL PROCESS SERVING

When a lawsuit is filed, documents such as Summonses, Complaints, and Subpoenas must be formally delivered according to Massachusetts civil procedure rules.

Proper service is critical. Incorrect service can result in delays, dismissed cases, or additional legal costs. A professional Constable performs due diligence and provides a valid Affidavit of Service for court.

EVICTION SERVICES SUMMARY PROCESS

The Massachusetts eviction process is highly regulated. Constables are authorized to serve Summary Process documents and execute Executions for Possession.

When a judge grants possession, the Constable lawfully enforces the court’s order if a tenant does not vacate voluntarily. This is done professionally, maintaining order while respecting all legal rights.

EXECUTING CAPIAS WARRANTS

If someone fails to appear in court, a judge may issue a Capias warrant. A sworn Constable has the authority to execute the warrant and bring the individual before the court.

PROPERTY SEIZURES AND RESTRAINING ORDERS

Constables also carry out court-ordered property seizures and serve restraining orders. These situations require discretion, professionalism, and strict adherence to court directives.

WHY CHOOSE A SWORN MASSACHUSETTS CONSTABLE

LEGAL AUTHORITY

Only a properly appointed Constable has full authority to execute certain court orders, including evictions and Capias warrants.

ACCOUNTABILITY

Constables are accountable to their appointing authority and must operate under strict legal and ethical standards.

LOCAL EXPERIENCE

An experienced Massachusetts Constable understands local court procedures and ensures matters are handled correctly the first time.
