The Sun City Posse is an independent non-profit community service
WHO IS THE SUN CITY POSSE?
The Sun City Posse is an independent non-profit community service corporation made up entirely of resident volunteers. We are not law enforcement; we are your neighbors, dedicated to adding an extra measure of security and reassurance for Sun City residents and their property.
You can see the Posse at work patrolling the streets of Sun City, visiting a resident whose family or neighbors are concerned for their welfare, checking on homes of residents who are on extended vacation, or searching the area for a resident who has wandered away. We assist the fire department in keeping streets clear so first responders can do their work, and provide helpful services like contacting a resident who has left their garage door open.
We can guide you in setting up a Block Watch program in your neighborhood. We can also help you with traffic control and theft aversion at local events and rec center club activities.
The Sun City Posse sponsors community events such as our popular recycling programs, and periodic seminars to keep you up to date on scams and frauds targeting our area.
Look for us next time you’re out and about. We’re the folks looking out for you.
No prior law enforcement experience is required and all training is provided free of charge. The only requirements for membership are:
• You are at least 50 years old
• You live in Sun City at least 6 months each year
• You hold a valid Driver’s License
• You are in reasonably good health
• You successfully pass a background check
SUN CITY POSSE COMMITMENT
When the Posse first opened it’s doors in 1973 our mission was to enhance the safety of our residents and their property. That simple goal is still our mission today.
No one understands seniors’ safety concerns as well as other seniors. All Posse members live in Sun City so we have a vested interest in the well-being of the community we serve.
While our members hail from a variety of backgrounds and life experiences, there are two things all Posse share in common: a love of Sun City and a strong belief in the value of community service. We are committed to the community, to you, and to the goal of making our community a safer place for all.
