MEET SHERIFF JOE ARPAIO

December 11, 2010 8:05 pm | December 23, 2010  | 1

Listen Now!

The media calls him “America’s Toughest Sheriff” and he runs the nation’s 3rd largest Sheriff’s office located in Maricopa, Arizona. It is none other than Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Sheriff Arpaio has introduced many innovative and controversial practices including pink underwear and pink handcuffs for inmates, inmate selective service registration and volunteer organ donation, the infamous tent city, and volunteer chain gangs. Incorporating the community into his policing practices, he has expanded Maricopa County civilian posse to include involvement in all sorts of traditional police duties such as search & rescue, prisoner transport and traffic control along with others. Co-hosting this week’s program is private investigator and immediate past president of the California Association of Licensed Investigators, Jim Zimmer. Tune in to hear what Sheriff Arpaio has to say that promises to be both educational and entertaining. 

Sheriff Joe Arpaio

Sheriff Joe ArpaioSheriff Joe Arpaio has been the top cop of the Sheriff’s office of Arizona’s Maricopa County for almost 18 years. Following his service in the US Army and 5 years as a police officer in Washington DC and Las Vegas, Sheriff Arpaio became a federal narcotics agent and built a reputation for fighting crime and drug trafficking around the world. He infiltrated drug organizations from Turkey to the Middle East to Mexico, Central, and South America to cities around the U.S. His reputation as a tough lawman, along with his expertise and many successes, led him to top management positions with the US Drug Enforcement Administration, retiring as head of Arizona’s DEA office  in 1992.

 Sheriff Arpaio was elected as Maricopa County Sheriff in 1993 and his innovative practices have since become legend. No one in the history of Arizona has been elected to a third 3-year term. Elected once again in 2008, Sheriff Arpaio is serving an unprecedented 5th term and enjoys an 85% public approval rating.
