Canadian County Sheriff Chris West is forming a citizens posse and county residents recently met in Piedmont.

West and potential posse members met for training on Saturday, Oct. 3.

There were about 40 people who attended the orientation, West said.

“I’m really excited about the unlimited potential of the posse and I believe the sky is the limit when people volunteer to help one another,” West said.

West also has plans for posse orientations in Yukon, Mustang and El Reno.

The Piedmont orientation was the first meeting since West began organizing the posse.

The other meetings will be in Yukon, Oct. 10, at the Express Ranch Sale Barn, and then in El Reno, Oct. 18 and Mustang, Oct. 24.
