FWIW:
"California
Historically, constables in California were attached to the justice courts, the lowest tier of the state court system (whereas sheriffs were attached to the county superior courts, and marshals to the municipal courts). When the state courts were unified in 2000, with the superior court fulfilling all judicial functions, the need for the position of constable was eliminated.[29] The few constables that remained on duty when the state courts were reorganized in 2000, even in remote regions of the state, were eventually absorbed into sheriff or police agencies. Constables as such had full police powers and carried out occasional to frequent patrol work in addition to their paper serving duties, and were attached to the former justice courts, and were either elected by popular vote or appointed by the presiding judge of the county's supreme court."
Interestingly, at least in Amador County, the constable acted as a bailiff. He was elected and had no , or minimal, formal peace officer training. As mentioned above, the constable went away when the justice court and municipal courts merged with the superior court.
Justice courts existed in counties with populations of less than less than 40K, municipal courts with over 40K.
