Executive Order 2007
Prescribing the Duties of Constables.
By virtue of the authority vested in me, I hereby establish the following Order for the Canal Zone:
The constables of the magistrates' courts of the Canal Zone are hereby declared to be peace officers with the powers and duties imposed by law upon such officers. They shall attend all sessions of the magistrate's court for the town and subdivision to which they may be assigned by the Governor of the Panama Canal; shall preserve order therein; shall receive and receipt for all moneys collected by them upon any process or paid into or deposited with said magistrate's court as fees, fines, costs, forfeitures, or bail; and shall duly account therefor in accordance with rules and regulations to be prescribed by the Governor of The Panama Canal.
All laws or orders, or parts thereof, in conflict with this order are hereby repealed.
