Considering all the illegal activity his guys have to deal with, good for him. Hope it leads to removing more scum off the earth when it's called for.
Will a LEO chime in please.
Don't all LEOs carry when off duty? I thought they did or is it optional?
Optional in my county, it seems.
I have been ragging on the Sheriff himself, an old friend, for several years to carry off duty, but he has not yet done it.
ETA- As for Arpaio, he is a publicity-seeking moron.
Why are they being called "AR-15 style"? The rifle isn't styled after an AR15, it is an AR15.Looks Like Good Ole Sherriff Joe will have his people carry AR15's. I think Joe was just a little bit ticked that one of his Deputies was Killed. Do you like the part that he gets the coverage and then That Governor and Him just keep pushing things Right back in Obama's Face? I like his thinking on the issue. Course he need to understand that if he and the Good Ole Boys gets to carry them. So to then the rest of the Citizenry. Should they chose to do so. Most cops that are undercover carry a piece all the time anyways.
Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio orders deputies to carry AR-15 style rifles and remain armed even when off duty.....
Controversial Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio announced that he is arming his deputies with AR-15 style rifles and ordering the deputies to carry weapons even when they are off duty.
Local Phoenix affiliate Fox10 reports that Arpaio said the new rifles are essential to help local police combat criminals who are using increasingly powerful weaponry.
But the news that he is requiring the deputies to be armed and essentially on duty at all times is noteworthy.
"My deputies will carry guns 24 hours a day, even off duty. If they see any incident occurring, they will take action anywhere in this valley," he said.
Local affiliate ABC15 reports that the deputies will be required to carry only a handgun at all times, meaning they will have to employ the AR-15 style rifles only while on duty.....snip~

He doesn't mind the camera but he's no moron. I've met him a few times and he's both very personable and very knowledgeable about law enforcement. He's one of those rare breed of public official that could really care less about the politics of his position. He has a job to do and he does it to the best of his ability.

DITTO! Good on Sheriff Joe.
He's a littel behind the times though...IIRC most Texas LEOs have them in the trunk. Here's proof>>>>>

Dumbasses.
So, for all of this effort, here is how much good it does:roll:

...and this is from realtors who want to look as appealing as possible.
Sheriff Arpaio may be one of the best law enforcement officers in America today but I think he should go the whole nine yards.
His deputies should be issued fully automatic M-16's, M-4's, .45 ACP Thompson sub machineguns with 50 round drum magazines and 40 mm M-79 grenade launchers.
Just FYI, Realtors don't pull crime data.
Edit: I'm not sure what this shows -- don't quite understand it -- BUT if it shows crime?? Then perhaps we can understand the sheriff's concern.
It's just the media trying to hype up fear of scary looking rifles again.I keep hearing AR15's are only cosmetically different from other semi-auto rifles, so what's the point?

The idiot already has APCs. A few years ago the county stopped him from acquiring a feckin tank! LOL
This is the link itself: Phoenix AZ crime rates and statistics - NeighborhoodScout
What it shows is that despite pink underwear, they are in the top 10% of crime. So it's not working as well as it seems it should. Personally, it's not my problem and I don't care if they have to wear negligees or dunce hats.
But you'd think they would have gotten better results. 98888888888888888888888888888888888888
Are you saying the MCSD never got it's tank ?
The LAPD has it's tanks.
Even the bedroom community suburb of Monrovia, California of 36,000 has it's armored assault vehicle with a machine gun turret on the top. It would take a TOW missile to stop it.
