After research, there aren't many requirements to be a constable, and really none for a deputy. I guess, what is being shown here is that individuals have been impersonating a peace officer, which is a felony under KRS 519.055.

As an attorney, with the pictures provided here, there is substantial evidence to prove that a crime is or has taken place. The pictures of uniformed personnel with weapons and badges, if not a duly sworn law enforcement official; definitely represents falsely portraying oneself as a member of the police, for the purpose of deception.
