Description

ABOUT THE POSSE "The posse is an old idea, born in the Old West when the sheriff would deputize a band of local citizens to mount up and help him catch the crooks who had just robbed the stagecoach. Today the Sheriff's Posse in Maricopa County, Arizona, is an authentic, crime-fighting force. Over 2,500 men and women, ( outnumbering my sworn deputies ten to one ), have taken the official course and gotten themselves deputized to serve as more or less fully functioning cops, wearing real uniforms, driving real police cars. The posse is the best way, in every sense of the word that I know to make our communities safer, better places to live." [ Taken from the book , "Sheriff Joe Arpaio America's Toughest Sheriff" ,The Summit Publishing Group pgs 97 & 100 ]
