The
Pima County
Sheriff's Posse is an all-volunteer mounted unit founded in 1946
under the auspices of the Sheriff of Pima County Arizona. When
requested, the Posse represents the Sheriff's Department in parades
and other related community functions in Pima County, and throughout
the State of Arizona.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES of the PIMA COUNTY
SHERIFF'S POSSE
 1.
Perpetuate the customs, traditions and pageantry of the State of
Arizona.
2. Represent the Sheriff of Pima County where and when appropriate,
or as requested by proper department authority.
3. Maintain mounted unit(s) prepared to respond upon call to
requests for search and rescue.
4. Engage collectively in horsemanship in order to maintain
proficiency, engender unit esprit, and enhance visibility and
recognition by the public.
5. Further the welfare and peace of the City of Tucson and Pima
County where deemed appropriate and permissible.
6. Provide and perform charitable and other services as appropriate
for the benefit of the community.
The Posse also assists other SARCI component member groups
with search and rescue operations initiated by the Pima
County Sheriff. Extensive training is provided to those members
wishing to take part in search and rescue and the Posse unit is on
call seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day.
 A monthly Gymkhana is conducted as a fundraiser for SARCI search and
rescue operations. This event is geared toward families, giving
adults and children of all ages the opportunity to participate in
horseback events and games.
The Posse also contributes its time and
services to community projects, as well as trail riding events to
help raise funds for charities.
