Most special constables, who are charged with guarding the hunting rights of their assignee, but there are also special constables, who also carry out other, more extensive supervisory tasks on the property and rights of their assignee. There are those who are also responsible for maintenance in forests or along roads or who still feed in the winter period.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”7004″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” img_link_large=”yes” hover_animation=”none” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”small_depth” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]\n

Function<\/h3>\n

Special Constable is vested in the capacity of judicial police officer in the cases for which they are authorised to detect and establish crimes.<\/p>\n

After his training, he must be appointed by a Huntsman or Landowner, who has him sworn in by the Governor for a certain area of operation.<\/p>\n

In principle, the special constable is not a hunter or fisherman. He is forbidden to do so in the areas where he is appointed. The special constable must protect the interests of his appointers and he must bring the crimes he establishes to the attention of the public prosecutor. <\/p>\n

Legal basis<\/h3>\n

The legal basis for the position of special constable can be found in the Field Code and the Royal Decree and Ministerial Decree regulating the status of the special constable.<\/p>\n

The appointment is regulated by the field code. He is therefore working for a hunter, fisherman, a hunting society or fishing club. He can also be appointed by a number of public authorities (such as OCMW, the province, non-profit organisation, etc.). Article 61 of the Field Code states: “In rural municipalities, public institutions and special persons have the right to appoint special guards to protect their fruits and crops, the fruits and crops of their tenants or tenants and their property of any kind, as well as to guard their fishing and hunting grounds. <\/p>\n

Special Constable is vested in the capacity of judicial police officer in the cases for which they are authorised to detect and establish crimes.<\/p>\n

The appointers are obliged to have them recognised by the provincial governor, after hearing the district commissioner and the public prosecutor, and to indicate in the deed of appointment the nature and location of the property under their care.<\/p>\n

The special constable is therefore a judicial police officer with limited authority. The restriction relates to two elements: <\/p>\n
