Posse
There is a permanent, organized Sheriff's Posse that provides civilian volunteer support to the sworn deputies of the Sheriff's Office. Dozens of individual posse units can be called upon for various needs, such as a Jeep posse, equine mounted units in various cities, a ham radio operator posse, a diver's posse, and an air posse of licensed pilots.

Famous quotes containing the word posse:
“Peering, I heard the hooves come down the hill.
The posse passed, twelve horse; the leaders face
Was worn as limestone on an ancient sill.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
