Meet the candidate: Bill Griffin in the running for Pct. 1 constable

Bill Griffin, a lifelong resident of Liberty and veteran police officer, is vying for the office of Liberty County Pct. 1 Constable in the March 3 Republican Primary.

Griffin graduated from Liberty High School and continued his education at Sam Houston State University where he earned a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice. He holds a master peace officer license and a basic emergency medical technician certification.

For more than 26 years, law enforcement has been Griffin’s passion.

“I began my career in law enforcement in 1993 at the City of Liberty Police Department where I served as a patrol officer, detective, detective sergeant and chief of police,” Griffin said. “I also served as the deputy emergency management coordinator for the City of Liberty.”

After leaving the job as chief for Liberty PD, Griffin continued his career by serving the City of Dayton Police Department where he achieved the rank of corporal in patrol. Later on, he worked for the City of Mont Belvieu and currently works as a reserve police officer.

“Liberty County is my home and the concerns of its citizens are my utmost priority,” he said. “My goal is to be accountable to the citizens of the community by performing the duties of the constable’s office in a professional manner and with integrity. I love my community and would be honored to serve as your next Pct. 1 Constable.”

Griffin invites anyone who has questions or concerns, or just wants to get to know him better, to contact him by emailing griffinforconstable1@gmail.com.
