Welcome to the Yolo County Sheriff's Posse Website!

Welcome to Sheriff Tom Lopez's Posse!

While the Posse is initially used for community service details, such as participating in parades and shows, they also assist the Sheriff Office's Search and Rescue unit in looking for lost or stranded persons in remote areas of the county and assist the deputies in patrolling events such as the county fair.

Yolo County Sheriff's Posse Mission

The Posse has evolved over the years. Today, the all-volunteer Mounted Posse continues under the direction of the Yolo County Sheriff's Office. The mission of the Posse is still to provide mounted and ground-support to the Sheriff as needed. It has expanded its scope to promote charitable and public service activities within the community and to promote health and safety among equine enthusiasts- riding and non-riding.
