Clearfield County (PA) Sheriff is forming volunteer posse :: 12/24/2015
CLEARFIELD — Clearfield County Sheriff Wes Thurston is forming the first Volunteer Clearfield County Sheriff’s Posse, according to a press release issued to the media.
Posse members will assist the sheriff and deputies when needed in the event of a catastrophe, natural disaster, missing children or endangered persons, information gathering and other non-emergency situations.
The sheriff’s department also recommends that posse members carry a firearm for their own protection.
When asked why it is recommended that posse members carry a firearm Thurston said, “I think everyone should carry a firearm.”
But he said it is not required that posse members be armed.
