American Sheriff: Lamb ‘leads from front,’ shrugs off rumors
by Heather Smathers | Casa Grande Dispatch
He calls himself the American Sheriff.
His name is Mark Lamb, and he’s Pinal County’s top law enforcement officer.
Lamb’s style of leading certainly is different than that of his predecessors, but he said that’s by design. He can regularly be seen embodying the persona of the “American Sheriff,” complete with jeans and a cowboy hat. He says the getup is twofold: It’s the manifestation of the Old West sheriff that has a storied tradition in Arizona, and it sets him apart within the department.
