Posse Requirements<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

Each posse member is required to provide their own horse, tack, boarding, feed, truck, and trailer. All duty-related tack, uniforms, and law enforcement equipment is provided by the Posse.<\/p>\n

Due to the nature and responsibility of this work, becoming a member of the Posse is a significant undertaking. However, our members find the work to be extremely rewarding.<\/p>\n
