A deputy was a title or rank that some officers within a law enforcement agency held, and it was a rank lower than that of a constable or a marshal. Before his death around 9 ABY when he was killed by the bounty hunter Cad Bane, Scott worked as the deputy of Freetown on the planet Tatooine, serving under Marshal Cobb Vanth. The Kyuzos named Drego and Streehn functioned as deputies who were under Constable Zuvio in Niima Outpost, which was a trading post on the frontier found on the planet Jakku.
