Technology not so much, use of sheriffs is changing routine.

Technology has changed the way we do our work. It has improved my job because the attorneys have more ways of getting their jobs done, and it makes my job a lot easier. Qualifications: 1) Darien special police officer for 7 years, 2) retired deputy sheriff for Fairfield County, 3) going on my fifth term as a Darien constable.

My qualifications for the position of constable are that I have over 30 years experience in the private security industry. I hold private investigator and watch guard licenses in numerous states including Connecticut. I deal with a variety of different lawyers, clients as well as other security organizations (both private and governmental) on a daily basis. 

In my investigations I have found that technology has greatly increased my ability to find information quicker.
