District Constables were special constables appointed by South Australian District Councils and sworn in for a 12-month term to maintain the law and protect life and property in rural districts where there were insufficient officers of the Police Force. In 1861 the Municipal Corporations Act authorized District Constables in city districts. District Constables were not members of the Police Force.
