You probably know him as “America’s Toughest Sheriff,” a
name given to him years ago by the media. It’s a name he
certainly has earned as head of the nation’s third largest
Sheriff’s Office which employs over 3000 people. But even before
he became Sheriff in 1993, Joe Arpaio was one tough lawman. After
serving in the U.S. Army from 1950 to 1953, and as a Washington,
D.C., and Las Vegas, NV, police officer for almost five years,
Arpaio went on to build a federal law enforcement career and a
reputation for fighting crime and drug trafficking around the
world. |
