The Steele County
Sheriff's Mounted Posse and Auxiliary was organized to assist the County
Sheriff and the communities they serve
by providing additional patrol and
mobility in areas of limited access. They represent the Steele County Sheriff’s Department
in many of Minnesota’s
parades and local celebrations and are called upon to carry out the duties of
Special Deputies.
The troopers are all
volunteers. They own and care for their horses, purchase and maintain their own
equipment,
and provide their own transportation
to events or requests for assistance.
They have had
training in CPR, Rescue First Aid, Use
of Force, and Search and Rescue techniques.
This nonprofit
organization maintains a sense of civic responsibility, through wagon train
rides, trail rides, and other sponsored functions
which raise money to assist the Sheriff’s Youth Ranch, Scholarship Funds and
countless other charities.
Even in today’s high tech, fast paced society, the Sheriff's
Mounted Posse has demonstrated the uncompromised utility of the horse.
