Mounted Posse Unit
In existence for more than 47 years, the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office Mounted Posse is currently a 16-member riding club who belong to the Utah State Western Riding Club Association (USWRCA). Members compete in individual and team events as well as in numerous parade and drill competitions. All members represent the Sheriff's Office in many volunteer services. Last year members donated over 2,000 hours in service to Salt Lake County. During the spring, they hold an open horse show for the youth and help with Wheeler Farm Family Fun Day. In December, they visit an elderly care center, taking Santa Claus along, and bring a small gift for each of the residents. The Posse Members volunteer their time, horses, and services for the opportunity to represent the Sheriff's Office.
