Ben Bryok is only in his second month as Post 2 Constable but is already following through on his commitment to actively serve residents of Tate County.
Bryok won the seat in a special election last November and has turned in his paperwork and qualified for a full four-year term in the 2023 election.
“I have been pretty busy serving papers and attending Justice Court when needed,” Bryok said. “I also began doing walkthroughs in schools and had the opportunity to assist other departments in the county.”
One of Bryok’s promises when he campaigned for his constable position was to be highly visible in the community and patrol county neighborhoods more frequently. Recently, he conducted a traffic stop on Halls Mill Levee Road which led to a felony arrest involving narcotics.
“I purchased a vehicle for daily use and installed lights, sirens and constable decals so I can be easily identified and deter crime,” Bryok said.
His law enforcement career began in 2015 as a jail officer at the Tate County Sheriff’s Office. Bryok was promoted to deputy in 2017, a position he held until he became constable at the end of 2022.
As a deputy, Bryok responded to numerous calls and made an abundance of traffic stops leading to felony arrests for narcotics, stolen firearms, felons in possession of firearms, DUIs and various other crimes.
“My perspective hasn’t changed since my time as deputy. As constable, my goal is to continue providing the best service I can to make this community a safer place,” Bryok added.
Bryok and his wife, Tabitha, have five children – Chloe, Faith, Kevin, Taylor and Kyle. The couple also has one grandchild, Houstan.
