According to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) website, the Sheriff’s volunteer posse has over 3,000 members and is the nation’s largest posse.

The volunteer posse, started when Arpaio first took office in 1993, help law enforcement officials in search and rescue and other traditional police operations. They help round up deadbeat parents, fight prostitution, patrol malls during holidays, and investigate animal cruelty. Their services are “essentially free to taxpayers” states the sheriff on the MCSO website.
