I just looked up the department numbers.
The county is divided into three regions, A, B and C.
48 men with 12 supervisors in A. 37 men and 1 super in B and not posted for C.
It would stand to reason that C would have something like 40 men so his total force including supervisors would be 140 men and women.
With that mighty force, he is supposed to whip all of the banditos in Mexico when even the Mexican army can’t do it.
You just have to feel sorry for the sheriff. He has a hell of a job and no support.
I wonder what would happen if the sheriffs along the border would deputize every able bodied man and woman in their jurisdictions and get donations for some sort of .50 caliber weapon for each deputy....
And turn them loose to clean the place up.
Sheriff Arpaio in Maricopa County is fighting the battle and the “powers that be” are trying to bring him down with all kinds of investigations.
I think there is just too much drug money for bribes for Arizona to last much longer.
