The Posse
The Bates County Sheriff's Posse is a volunteer organization that was founded in 2009. We work closely with the Bates County Sheriff's Office when extra manpower is needed, whether on foot, by ATV or on horseback. We serve our community alongside and under the direction of the Sheriff whenever urgent or emergent situations arise and we're needed. Youth Posse
Established in 2025, the Youth Posse is an annual educational program for Bates County Highschool students who are interested in learning more about leadership, law enforcement, criminal justice and community involvement. Our mission is to positively impact Bates County youth who have an interest in law enforcement, giving them hands-on practical experience and education under the direct supervision of the Sheriff's Office, and Posse, that will build a foundation of a law enforcement career and leadership.
