A. Each duly elected constable of a justice of the peace court in Union Parish may appoint one deputy constable, if necessary, for whose acts the constable shall be responsible. Before entering upon his duties, each deputy shall take the oath required by the constitution and the laws of this state and meet the requirements of R.S. 40:2402 through 2406. A duplicate copy of the oath of office shall be filed with the office of the attorney general within seventy-two hours after being administered. Any deputy constable appointed pursuant to this Section shall not be entitled to any compensation from any local governing body or political subdivision, other than the constable's office, and shall not be entitled to any compensation from the state. Each constable may fix the compensation of his deputy. He shall pay from the fees generated by his office the compensation due the deputy, the premiums on bonds required by him of a deputy in charge of public funds, insurance premiums, if provided, and any and all other expenses of any nature whatsoever necessary for the performance of all duties required of the deputy. He shall issue monthly or twice per month, at his discretion, to the deputy warrants or checks for the amounts due him. B. Each deputy constable authorized by this Section shall have the same qualifications and training as required by law for a constable of a justice of the peace court. The deputy constable need not be a resident of the ward from which the constable is elected, but he must be a resident of Union Parish. C. The provisions of this Section shall have no effect on nor limit the authority of a justice of the peace to appoint a special deputy constable pursuant to R.S. 13:3477.
