50th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Scott County Sheriff's Posse

By Pamela Bennett

Beginning May 1, 2015 until April 30, 2016, reserve deputies, and deputy sheriffs who used to be posse/reserve members, will be wearing a new badge that commemorates the 50 years since Sheriff Blackie Strout founded the Sheriff`s Posse.

These badges will display a banner commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Sheriff`s Posse.

The badges were purchased by the individual officers and will be kept by them as a memento of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Sheriff`s Posse in Scott County.
