Every LEO should have top-of-mind awareness and respect for Constitutionally-guaranteed rights. It is those who do not who shouldn't be wearing the badge.

Yes exactly!

This gives me hope. How do we support and reinforce this across the board?

Examples in: Oregon, Idaho, New York, Mississippi, California

This organization is headed by Sheriff Richard Mack - probably the finest "law enforcement" officer, ever.
This man has done battle with the federals and won.

... and in another example of common sense, NYPD and sheriff's voice their disdain for State and Federal authoritarianism:

I dont know, but I am happy to see sheriffs standing up to our rights instead of just trampling them at the behest of politicians.

Has anyone here had any interaction or first-hand knowledge of this group? Thoughts?

What is your question?

I think the second sentence helps to clarify it a bit:
The slogan, which has been used for decades, yet which has been removed from the door of many police agency patrol vehicles, is To Protect and Serve.

I'm with you on this. I first noticed what I now think of as a 'constitutional sheriff' when I was living in Florida. Now, I am seeing a broader trend - even in California.

I think having a country full of Sheriffs who respect the constitution and will not abide these (and future) mandates is in my best interest and I want to see how I can help expand that thinking.

I'm wondering if CSPOA is a good place to start, or where might be a better place to throw a few bucks (or hours).

So stay out of my house on thanksgiving (and other times too). I am tired of being treated like a child by democrats who dont even go by their OWN rules.

It doesn't say much for this organization, when the very first sentence on their website doesn't make any sense at all!

"Throughout America, law enforcement agencies have a slogan that defines the primary function the agency."

Interesting to speculate on what groups like this will do in response to Biden's forthcoming buy-back/registration executive order re semi-automatic rifles and "oversize" clips. I understand that there will be a fee of $200 for registering each rifle and each clip. One can only suppose what the penalty will be for refusing to sell-back or register.

OATH KEEPERS. They are active and on the ground at many of the demonstrations.

I'll add that the Wikipedia entry gives me good cause to put them high on my list :-)

Looking for ways to do my part.
