Last night, the Jefferson County Constables' Department held an event to recognize three former constables: David Kelley, Nathan Thurman, and Mackey Wilson. In a Jefferson County Constables' Department's Facebook post, the department praised their service, noting their dedication in answering hundreds of emergency calls, often at night and without asking for taxpayer money.
David Kelley, an 18-year veteran, was honored for his professionalism and consistent presence in the community. Nathan Thurman and Mackey Wilson, who served for 16 and 5 years respectively, followed in their fathers' footsteps, continuing a family legacy of service.
The ceremony highlighted the constables' role in supporting public safety and other law enforcement agencies. The event concluded with well-wishes for the future and a call to maintain the constable's role as a key part of the community.
