America’s Toughest Sheriff To Speak At Conservative Leadership Conference

America’s Toughest Sheriff To Speak At Conservative Leadership Conference
N&V Staff
June 10, 2011

(Las Vegas, NV) – Citizen Outreach Foundation (COF) officially announced today that Maricopa County (Az.) Sheriff Joe Arpaio will be a featured speaker at the 4th Annual Conservative Leadership Conference in Las Vegas on July 9-10.

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 3,400 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.

In 1992, Arpaio successfully campaigned to become the Sheriff of Maricopa County. Since then he has been reelected to an unprecedented five 4-year terms. During his tenure as Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arpaio has consistently earned high public approval ratings.

Arpaio has between 7,500 – 10,000 inmates in his jail system. In August, 1993, he started the nation’s largest Tent City for convicted inmates.  Two thousand convicted men and women serve their sentences in a canvas incarceration compound.

Of equal success and notoriety are his chain gangs, which contribute thousands of dollars of free labor to the community. The male chain gang, and the world’s first-ever female and juvenile chain gangs, clean streets, paint over graffiti, and bury the indigent in the county cemetery.

Also impressive are the Sheriff’s get tough policies. For example, he banned smoking, coffee, movies, pornographic magazines, and unrestricted TV in all jails. He has the cheapest meals in the U.S. too. The average meal costs about 15 cents, and inmates are fed only twice daily, to cut the labor costs of meal delivery. He even stopped serving them salt and pepper to save tax payers $20,000 a year.

Another program Arpaio is very well known for is the pink underwear he makes all inmates wear. Years ago, when the Sheriff learned that inmates were stealing jailhouse white boxers, Arpaio had all inmate underwear dyed pink for better inventory control. The same is true for the Sheriff’s handcuffs. When they started disappearing, he ordered pink handcuffs as a replacement.

No wonder Sheriff Arpaio has been profiled in over 4500 U.S. and foreign newspapers, magazines, and TV news programs. His leadership and the excellent work of his staff have catapulted the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office into the ranks of elite law enforcement agencies.

The 2011 Conservative Leadership Conference (CLC) will be held at the M Resort in Las Vegas.  This fourth annual event will be co-hosted by Citizen Outreach  Foundation and Americans for Tax Reform (ATR).
