Chest. Cnty. Ct. Comm. Plea. R. 105.3(d)

As amended through February 1, 2024
Rule 105.3(d) - Constable Transports - Humanitarian Reasons

As there are instances when, for humanitarian reasons, or for other good cause, persons in confinement need to be transported from the place of confinement to another location, the Court may, upon petition and good cause shown, issue an Order authorizing the transport, either at the cost of the defendant, or at the cost of the County, to be made by a constable. These constables may be assigned at random by the Court from a list of constables duly qualified to do such transports. The Court Administrator of Chester County shall notify all Chester County constables who wish to be involved in said transports to do so in writing to the Court Administrator of Chester County. The Warrant Enforcement Bureau (WEB) will maintain this list and the assignments may be made on a random, rotating basis. Constables who wish to be part of this list must agree that in appropriate cases the Court may determine that a single constable will be sufficient for said transport. In any case in which the County pays the constable transport cost, the constable must comply with the Constable Handbook adopted by the Chester County Commissioners.
