Mission
The tasks are very varied and can include the following: provide foot and mobile patrols, perform speed and road checks, perform premises licence and curfew checks, assisting in searches for Missing Persons, assist policing major events, Centeniers perform Parish Hall Enquiries, assist and co-operate with the States of Jersey Police and with other Parishes’ Honorary Police in the policing of Island Events or as needed or requested.
Centeniers and Vingteniers also assist their Parishes with the Visite du Branchage twice yearly and the Visite Royale which happens once every six years.
Duty is usually performed for a week on a rota basis. The different Parishes differ slightly in their specific arrangements, however, all parishes hold a monthly meeting that their Connétable must attend.
