Pinal board wants to hear more about Lamb’s ‘citizens posse’
by Mark Cowling | Maricopa Monitor
The Pinal County Board of Supervisors wants to hear more details and clarification regarding Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb’s new “citizens posse” at a future meeting.
After hearing from Lamb and a couple of citizens with concerns Wednesday, board Chairman Anthony Smith, R-Maricopa, directed the county manager to schedule the topic for a work session to educate the board and the public.
Lamb told PinalCentral last week the group is primarily a way to educate the public about police work, firearms, the law and how to protect themselves and their homes, in a four-hour course. But in extreme events, the group may also be called on to help enforce the law.
