Apache County Sheriff's Posse, Arizona, White Mountains, Greer, Springerville, Eagar, Alpine. The Apache County Sheriff's Posse was formed approximately 35 years ago by the then Sheriff to help with searches for persons lost or missing in Apache County. Since it's inception, the Posse has assisted in the rescue of skiers, hikers, boaters and others whose circumstances have become dire. Personnel are trained in Search and Rescue Techniques and certified for the variety of searches that may occur.
Volunteers provide their own horses, equipment and transportation.
The Posse is strictly a non-profit organization. Committed to the citizens of Apache County, Posse members participate in fund-raising activities throughout the year. The Posse's major focus is the Annual Round Valley Rodeo . As an example, the Posse was able to purchase a snowcat and boat that is utilized in search or rescue efforts when required. One scholarship is provided to a Round Valley student and the other to a St. Johns student.
