The Custer County Sheriff’s Posse was founded in 2003. They are an all-volunteer organization that serves as an extension of the Sheriff’s Office, providing public safety services to the citizens of Custer County. Posse members donate their time performing a multitude of functions including event security, traffic control, Patrols (town, county, campground, school), inmate transfers, evacuations, major incident support. Posse members donated over 6,900 hours in 2023.
In addition to the knowledge, and experience that every Posse member has, each must participate in regular training such as; arrest control, firearms, decisional shooting, room clearing, felony stops, and driver training.
Conducting modern-day law enforcement requires an array of sophisticated equipment. Dedicated to serving Custer County, Posse members, using their personal funds, purchase nearly all of their required law enforcement equipment.
To perform at a professional level, our Posse needs community support via donations for specialized equipment, body armor, training, and uniforms.
“Our goal is to give back to the community in ways that keep the county, its communities, and its citizens safe.”
