Constable Liability

According to the laws in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, every elected and appointed constable and deputy constable must file proof of professional liability insurance in their county's Clerk of Courts Office before they are able to perform their constable duties.

As the state mandates minimum coverage of $250,000 per incident and a yearly aggregate of $500,000, E. R. Munro and Company is able to provide the required limits through either the Capitol Indemnity Insurance Company or the Scottsdale Insurance Company. Both Companies carry a financial rating of "A" by A.M. Best.

A constable who fails to maintain the proper insurance coverage is prohibited from performing judicial duties. You will not be paid by the Clerk of Courts in your county without proof of constable liability insurance coverage. As a customer of E. R. Munro and Company we will provide your county's Clerk of Courts with proof of insurance.
