Sheriff Joe Arpaio Sends Armed Posse to Patrol Schools

Want to mess with Maricopa County public schools? You are going to have to go through Sheriff Joe first. Sheriff Joe Arpaio, whose leadership helped stop a 16 year old girl's bomb plot at a local school, has decided it is the sheriff's job to help keep children safe while they are in school.

More than 500 volunteers will receive 100 hundred hours of training to patrol the Arizona schools. They are volunteers and will not cost taxpayers any money.

Arpaio explained, “I have the authority to mobilize private citizens and fight crime in this county. (Politicians) are going to be talking about the guns now for years. But I have certain resources at my disposal and I’m not going to talk about it. I’m going to do it.”
