Hi,

I was wondering if there has been a split between the Posse
and MSAR in the Sheriff?s Departments out there.

Example: 

The Posse performs: parades, rodeos, and PR work for the
Sheriff. Ours just cut fair parking lot and concert
security from their mission.

The MSAR performs: SAR assistance and is part of the SAR
Organization as a specialty skill like K9 or Diver.

We are having some re-organization growing pains in ours
right now due to a new Sheriff....

One last question on uniforms

How many units out there wear the Sheriff/Deputy uniform in
their Posse and or have a badge and gun when performing
their mission?

Thanks,
