What is the CESTB?
The CESTB is a seven-member panel of constables, sheriffs, judges, county officials and members of the public who set the professional standards for constables throughout the State, ensure every constable is meeting their continuing education mandates, and provides supplemental funding to counties for constable training and equipment.
