The posse concept revived in Many cities As a reaction to riots or rashes of burglaries and rapes is frequently More popu Lar with the civilian population than with police officials.

In addition to six mounted posses which now do Only such work As search and Rescue and crowd control the county has a jeep posse a Range posse a water safety posse an air posse a divers posse and a Parachute posse.
