In addition, Constable Sommers and Reserve Deputy Moore have begun collecting data from puppy sales, usually conducted on the weekends.

d. Vehicles- Prencinct 7 is working in conjunction with all precincts in the direction of marking all the vehicles uniformly.

e. Pct. 7 has increased visibility while assisting other agencies and the public. Deputies from Pct. 7 have assisted not only the Sheriff's Department, but the County Tax Office and with operations with ATF. Furthermore, Constable Sommers and deputies have done patrol work on Sunday, making themselves accessible to the public.

Dear Constable Melendez:

Thank you for showing your commitment to the children of your community by "rounding up" their negligent parents for failing to pay child support. I am grateful to you and your deputies for working on this effort with Special Enforcement Investigator Donald Strup, and for the many hours of careful planning that resulted in a very successful roundup effort.

In recognition of outstanding service and cooperation with the Attorney General's Ofice, I have enclosed certificates of appreciation for you and Sergeant Ruben Anguiano. The work of your office was instrumental in bringing to justice 43 negligent parents who had long evaded their court-ordered responsibility to pay child support.

It is a pleasure to work with the dedicated law officers of the El Paso Constable's Office. I appreciate the tireless contributions that you and your fellow officers continue to make on behalf of the children of Texas.

Sincerely,

reg Abb A%?&: ~tt&ne&ral of Texas

In addition, Deputy hfdendez needed very little supervision and executed his duties in a timety manner. If Deputy Melendez wac ever unsure o f h u assignment, be would always ark questions to malir sure he knew what was required ofhim.

Enclosing, I would like to say that it was a great pleasure having Deputy Melendcr as an employee. B e is a very outgoing friendly penon who works w d l with the community.

In addition to my full time employment with the City of El Paso. I am also an instructor with the El Paso Community College. I teach courses for the Basic Peace Officer Course; a course which prepares sludents for the Texas State Police Wtcers' Commission exam. I leach courses in Traffic Law, Accidenl Investigation, Traffic Stops, Intoxicated Driver, Traffic Direction and Control, Police Emergency Driving and Hazardous Materials Awareness.

The students attending this course are students v/ith me for a period of 94 hours. During that time, I am able to acquaint myself with most of the students. Peter Melendez was one of lhose students. I can say that he demonstrated dedication and responsibility, hvo traits necessary for employment with any police agency. He also nianaged to maintain an above average grade throughout the course. He was rarely absent, which showed ms he vfas serious about completing the course.

If there are any other questions about Mr. Melendez I can ansvter. I may be

Mr. Melendez has been employed at this school as a substitute teacher during the " " 2000-2001 school year in various class assignments at the 6 , 7 and 8" grade levels.

Why has Sanlanirgo been able to keep El I'aso County from expanding thr role of constables?

"Because the sheriff is the high- e,t officer in the county, and h; is Gud." said County Commissioner Dan Haggerty, who supported giving constables new cars for the first rime last year.

Ry opening the door to negotia- tions with the sheriff, Melendez has accomplished something thzt thc county's other constables gave up on.

warrants Deputy-constable idea is worth a try

0 ne of El Paso's constables wants to try something to keep El Paso

from watching $2 million worth of warrants go unserved every year.

East Side Constable Pete Me- lendez would like money to hire a deputy who would work warrants for three months lo see how much money could be real- ized.

A check of county financial records shows that the county's seven constables brought in $269.437 in fines and fees during the fiscal year endin Sept 30 Constables are paid f36,50b.a ' year, so in that sense, at least, it's almost a wash.

and deputies, worrying that they could be anything from un- necessary to 3 menacc. Rut i t wouldn't hurt anything to at least try Melendez's idea for thrce months. If it uaorks, if it pays off in financial and ad~nin- istrative gain for the county, then perhaps it could be cau- tiously expandcd. If it doesn't work, it could be easily shelved as a good idea that didn't work out.

Samaniego also thinks it would be a wasted effort because, "Most of the peoplc that don't show up in court arc deadbeats. You're not going to get anything out of them."

Perhaps. But it seems worth a try, and Countv Commissioners

Constables have place in law enforcement, deserve support

What's \\roily with thc co~istables?

Twenty-somc years aso. SIieriSFSama~riego took oftice. His vision: a irew jail, a ncw training facility and better pay for his deputies.

M e l e ~ ~ d e z Twenty years later, with the addition of these, it has gottcn h ~ l n the top sheriffs department in Texas, one of the top -~

sheriffs offices in the United States and one of the only C'LEA-certified slieriffs offices in Texas.

I would like to think that the things I am asking for are as visionary, but unfortunately, they are not.

Before deciding to run for constable, I traveled Texas to sce the difference between El Paso's constables and the rest of the state. I found a huge disparity between larger counties such as Harris or Travis, and a more embarrassing disparity with smaller counties like Laredo or Corpus.

The larger counties' constables were providing services that the police and sheriff do, with officers numbering from 50 to 125. Smaller counties also provided the same services with 25 to 30 paid deputies, not includi~~g their office staff.

El Pasoans have been given the myth that constables are not supposed to do police work. Until 2003 when 1 presented the Paid Deputy Pilot Program for Warrants, we were the only major county without paid deputies. Currently, constables are the only elected officials in El Paso without a secretary or clerk to assist them.

El Paso constables have increased community programs. We are involved with the CARE (Constables Assisting Retired and Elderly), The School Cross Walk Program, and patrolling our precincts while executing court documents or warrants.

These programs have not affected our ability to increase our revenue. In 2002, Precinct No. 4 was at $83,000. In 2003, it increased to $300,000 and in 2004 to almost $500,000.

Most El Pasoans are unaware how understaffed we are. Constables are

for~;ii to use unpaid reserve deputies. With pul; .: officers averaging $28,000 a ,mr. it's getting harder to recruit reserves.

Many reserves only stay :: Tew months until they are hired full time by another agency. Making il eve13 harder is the coc~nty denying unicorrn budgets for the constables and their ;!eputies. The constable, fi~ll-time deputy, and the reserve deputies have to p:ly for their own unirornis ancl badges.

The traffic units I proposed would ensure added safety on our streets and generate badly needed revenue for the county.

The idea has met with acceptance from the community, but resistance Cro~n Lhe commissioners. El Pasoans stated, if faced with a tax increase which provides no additional officers or a program that provides additional officers and pays for itselT, they would prefer the additional ofiicers,

They also stated if they are not speeding, if they have their inspection sticker and current plates, they have nothing to worry about. Note: 38 percent of all traffic stops result in a wanted subject being in the car.

Recently, 1 requested expenditures oT$lOU and $200 Trom my budgel Conlmissioners Teran and Flores voted against me using my assigned budget funds, and the items F~iled to pass.

This is the mentality that continues to hinder our ability to functioi~

1 believe elected officials run for office because they want to improve the quality of life for their comnlunity; this is why I ran for office. As constables, we can only be as effective as the amount of support we receive from the conlmunity.
