For some time we've been seeing good sheriffs standing against those that seek to destroy freedom. There seems to be a growing movement in that regard. I sure hope so anyway.

Flathead County S.O. has been doing that for decades.

Most Arizona counties have or had a Sheriff's Posse. Volunteers who have horses and assist the Sheriff's office in things like mounted search and rescue, searching crime scenes for evidence, parking lot patrols at events like the county fair, etc. Each county sheriff uses the posse in their own way. Some are more active than others. You have to provide your own dress uniform and a work uniform and volunteers have to qualify with a handgun.
Most of the posses own property where they have a clubhouse and usually an arena. They have different events at the arenas and often make them available for community use. They used to have monthly "roundups" where the different posses would compete in events like team roping, calf roping, barrel rscing, relay races, etc. Usually a two day event with jackpot team roping on Saturday and the Roundup on sunday.

Wouldn't it be good if all Sheriffs did this?

I emailed my County Sheriff's office and asked when they plan on following this example. I suggest everyone here does the same in your county.

Deputies used to be a temporary position for supporting the sheriffs in times of need...
Going after rustlers/ gangs, etc.
A posse would be deputised for that specific purpose.

After that, it was back to normal.
Now, deputies have a permanent police position .
It used to be that every man would police his own community. They didn't hire a full time staff of gvt. employees.

Of course, after that happened in the cities, it followed as most customs do, into the countrysides in most communities. We now live in a police state. I used to travel through 8 jurisdictions/police department staff patrolling roads, on the way to church and round trip 16. If there was ANY reason to provide them $ it would not go unnoticed.

The results of this gradual historical change were:

1. Men turned over their personal responsibilities to the gt. The responsibility to police and protect the areas that were in their own best interests to defend.

2. Crime rates increased.

3. Those who took the responsibility as men, heads of their families under the headship of Christ, were demonized and a major campaign against these men continues until this day.

I read the brief summary the sheriff posted.
What's this mean?

"search and seizure"

I know that across the nation this has been a big percentage of the funds going to the police.

Always remember, A Sheriff is elected and he does the work of the people, not the bidding of the Mayor or Governor.

Good post.

Thank you.

I have worked with my local sheriff to accomplish several goals.
To begin, I would call the county, state or whoever wanted to show up when we saw riff raff from the city show up doing drugs, busting bottles and dumping major tonage of garbage along our roads.

When called, unfortunately,
Most of the police made it clear that they didn't want to take these calls at night. We who called were considered and sometimes targeted with resentment by them. Some were, but many weren't on our sides.

Later, after having a couple community meetings with the county leaders, we would stop and confront these gangs and partiers.
I found several techniques worked the best.

The community/neighborhood of a couple miles, had few problems except for the locals. Some locals were resentful and would toss trash in our driveway on the way by. Sometimes they would be recognized and I would follow up with these neighbors. Several have moved, thank God.

I think it's a good thing that some are seeing the value of regular decent men to help in a way similar to earlier 1800s and what this one is asking. "Search/seizures" excluded though. (4th,5thA)
