Youngtown is still seeking volunteers to create a sheriff's posse. In December, the Town Council voted to disband Youngtown's police force and replace it with deputies from the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. Town leaders said they could no longer afford to operate a police department.
Members of the posse will help the Sheriff's Office by reporting suspicious activity, assisting with traffic control as well as processing police reports and evidence. To join the posse, volunteers must be at least 18 years old, have an Arizona driver's license, pass a background check and be in good health.
18 years old and have an Arizona driver's license? 'Reporting suspicious activity'? Sounds more like vigilantes than a posse.
