The
mounted unit is headed by Commander Jonathan "Tex"
Langley. It
functions to enhance operations of Sheriff’s office
by offering skills like search, crowd control and a high
level of security to local events, often with crowds in
excess of 80,000 people.
The
mounted unit members are a vital part of the Sheriff's office.
There are around 17 mounted reserve deputies, as well as,
several very important support personnel in the unit, all
of whom volunteer their time. The volunteer members provide
their own horse, trailer and equipment. Several of the mounted
unit members are regular full time Sheriff's deputies who
volunteer their time to serve the public.
