Generally they serve legal summons, subpoenas, bank levies, and other certified paperwork associated with civil matters.

The constable in the small town where my parents were raised rode around on a bicycle wearing his house slippers.Posted on 3/17/17 at 4:49 pm to white perch
Depends on the jurisdiction, but in NY they tend to serve court orders and subpeonas. In that respect they are similar to marshals in LA, but they answer to the court, not to an elected official.
Along those lines marshals tend to turn into little fiefdoms as evidenced by the 6 year old that got killed when his dad got pulled over by two corrupt marshals.

In Louisiana, their key task (and money maker) is evictions. Those in the districts with a lot of rentals can pull in $200k+ a year in addition to whatever full time job they already have by hiring one deputy to go around and do the work.

Hangs out with other members of the constabulary.
(I realize that's a snarky answer, but I never let an opportunity to use the word constabulary go to waste)

Actually, a constable, in LA has the same authority as a sheriff, but with limited jurisdiction in his ward only.
In all fairness, if the state wanted to cut the fat, they could start with justices of the peace and constables.
In some jurisdictions they well may serve a purpose but in 99% of the wards across the state, they done one thing, actually two.
One, they get their check out of the mail box. Two, they go cash it.

Nah. Just not really a fun thing to put someone's stuff on the curb.

I know a few guys that did this and there were several instances of these guys getting shot trying to serve papers or an eviction.

In Jefferson parish it was. You got to drink all day in Fourth Street bars and even hold official meetings there.

Yeah.
Our constables are great, though.
Thankfully nobody I've evicted has become violent. Lots of sad crying that makes you feel bad, though.

Drive around in big SUVs with blue police lights and pretend they're keeping the public safe.
