a. The Magisterial District Judge must indicate that he/she was unaware that the defendant was incarcerated in a County jail outside of Adams County but within the Commonwealth when the warrant was issued.
An On-call Constable System is established, which shall be in operation daily from the hours of 2200 until 0600 the next day for constable warrant service as described and permitted within this Manual.
The On-Call Constable System provides an easy-to-follow system for A.C.D.E.S., whereby the name of the constable to call is known in advance and eliminates the need for a dispatcher to determine if another constable needs to be contacted to serve a warrant.
The Adams County Constable Association shall submit a schedule of constables who will be utilized as the on-call constable to A.C.D.E.S. on a quarterly basis at least one month in advance of the start of the quarter. This schedule will outline which constable should be contacted between the hours of 2200-0600 for warrant service should the municipal or state police agency not exercise the option to request a specific constable or the officer's requested constable is unavailable. Any constable who is authorized to provide judicial service and wishes to be utilized as an on-call constable shall contact the Adams County Constable Association to be placed on the schedule. It shall be the responsibility of the Adams County Constable Association to ensure the schedule is constructed in a manner fair to those wishing to be utilized as an on-call constable.
It is the expectation of the Court that the on-call constable shall be available to respond to any and all calls during the hours of 2200-0600 during the time period scheduled and to return calls from A.C.D.E.S. within 10 minutes. If an on-call constable has a conflict during the period of time scheduled, it shall be the responsibility of the on-call constable to ensure that coverage is available and to communicate any coverage changes with A.C.D.E.S. Failure of the constable to be available when on-call or, in the alternative, to ensure proper coverage may result in suspension of privileges for responsible constables or the elimination of the On-call Constable System. A.C.D.E.S. shall notify the Court Administrator of any periods of non-coverage or inability of the on-call constable to fulfill the intent of this subsection.
