Constables

[edit]
Simon Crowcroft, being interviewed by BBC Jersey following his re-election unopposed at the Electoral Assembly, 7 September 2011

Each Parish of the island of Jersey elects one Constable who is both a member of the States of Jersey and head of the Parish Municipality, the Constable acts at both national and regional political levels. The Constable is often referred to as the Father of the Parish. For the first time since 1903 the position of Constable in the Parish of St Ouen will be contested following the decision of incumbent Ken Vibert to stand down.[3]
