A candid conversation with Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb. He is "America's Sheriff "
Ranger inAction- Truck Fire Master Sergeant Ryan Wyatt was on his way to work when traffic came to an unusual stop on the interstate. Looking ahead, he saw smoke in the distance. Driving along the shoulder, he passed the standing traffic and arrived on the scene of a semi-truck on fire. Instinctively, his training kicked in. Wyatt grabbed his fire extinguisher, traffic vest, medical kit and rushed towards the inferno. Moments before, the truck driver noticed smoke coming from his trailer. An axle bearing had overheated, igniting the grease. He pulled over to put out the fire. When a tire exploded, it blew flames into his face and eyes. He was stunned and in shock when Wyatt approached. Wyatt's' fire extinguisher proved useless as the fire raged out of control. Recognizing the driver was burned, he applied first-aid. Wyatt asked to see the cargo manifest. A review of the manifest confirmed there were no toxic or flammable materials on board. An off-duty police officer appeared on the scene and contacted 911. Wyatt instructed her to relay that information to the 911 dispatcher. After verifying the truck and trailer were disconnected, Wyatt drove the truck away from the fire. He returned to the scene and rendered first-aid until firefighters and paramedics arrived. The 911 call went something like this:
911 dispatch: "what's your emergency?" Off-duty police officer: "There is an 18-wheeler on fire, no flammable or toxic materials are on board. An Arizona Ranger is on the scene and he is handling everything" When asked how he was able to remain so calm and composed, Wyatt replied:?It?s all about training. I always take my training very seriously. Early in life I was a truck driver, so I knew to ask for the cargo manifest. As a high threat protection medic having served in Iraq, our lives depended on our training."
"Training should be the hardest thing you do." MSgt. Ryan Wyatt

A RANGER OR AN ANGEL? Ranger Shawn Larkin is currently employed by a government contractor providing security along the United States/Mexico border. While on patrol, Larkin came across two undocumented immigrants who were severely dehydrated. As he gave them water, Larkin was told about three others in the group that became separated and lost. Ranger Larkin was able to track and find the three lost men, who were out of water too. While transporting the group to get medical care, Larkin came across two of his coworkers fighting a large desert fire. Just then, a man emerged from the desert. The said he set the fire to signal for help. His group of undocumented immigrants were lacking water and suffering from heat exhaustion. He indicated one of them may have died. Ranger Larkin contacted the Border Patrol and requested medical assistance. He then turned his attention back to the fire. The winds were picking up and the fire was spreading towards thicker vegetation. The fire was out by the time the Border Patrol EMT arrived. A job well done goes out to Larkin, his co-workers, and the Border Patrol for their quick and decisive actions. Within a span 45 minutes, ten people, including two women, were rescued from probable death. In addition, they stopped a fire that could
have gotten out of control in the gusting winds.
Did You Know? DPS named their rescue helicopters after the Arizona Rangers? The Arizona Rangers were the first regional law enforcement established in DPS Ranger
Arizona. DPS rescue helicopters were the first police helicopters to provide civilian medical service in the US. This pioneering spirit connected us and is why they named their helicopters after the Arizona Rangers. You can read about this on their website.
Hat Trick For Dogs Arizona Ranger Lt. Adam Kirby worked for animal control for eight years. He has never been bitten by a dog, using this trick. It's magic! As the aggressive dog approaches, pull off your hat and hold it out. The dog instinctively bites the first thing it reaches. That gives you time to deploy pepper spray or jump behind your partner.

Ran ger Su r veillan ce Saves Tim e In a small, low-income neighborhood, a vandal was smashing multiple windshields every night. These residents could not afford new windshields, and now they could not drive to work. Increased patrols in the area did not stop the vandalism. The Police Chief called in the Rangers. He did not have the resources to stake out the neighborhood. The Rangers saturated the neighborhood with overnight surveillance. The windshield smashing came to an immediate stop, as did drug dealing and prostitution in the neighborhood. During the next few days, the Rangers talked to the neighbors, but they were afraid to talk. On the third night, a man approached a Ranger and handed him a picture.?This is the man you are looking for; he is smashing the windshields. He is homeless, but you can find him at the soup kitchen.? The informant was a known, small time drug dealer. When asked why he was providing information, he replied ?You Rangers are everywhere. None of my customers will come anywhere near the neighborhood. My business came to a complete stop. One of the prostitutes said their business stopped too. Normally I don?t rat anyone out, but this was costing me money.? The suspect confessed and was arrested by the police the following day.

M eet Sh er if f M ar k Lam b Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb is well known for his love of family, faith, and country and epitomizes his persona as the ?American Sheriff ?. I recently spoke with Sheriff Lamb, who made the interview feel more like a comfortable conversation. As a young man, Sheriff Lamb contemplated joining the military. While he had not initially considered a career in law enforcement, he agreed to go on a ride-along with a friend. The next morning, he excitedly told his wife Janel, ?I?m going to be a cop!?
"Fear not, do right" After fifteen years in law enforcement, he is proud to serve as Sheriff. He takes his position very seriously and is honored to have the trust and votes of the people. Serving the community is the ?clear highlight? of the Sheriff ?s law enforcement career. He makes no apologies for being a ?Constitutional guy? and believes that police are ?first and foremost peacekeepers; responsible for protecting and being a part of the community.? In 2018, The Pinal County Adult Detention Center was featured on the popular A&E show ?60 Days In?. Innocent participants went into the jail undercover and posed as inmates to gather insider information about contraband, jail operations, and gang activity. Sheriff Lamb stated that their participation was ?very beneficial? as they ?learned a lot, gained an inside look at the jail, and all with no cost to the taxpayers.? Since the show, a body scanner was installed to detect drugs and other contraband being smuggled into the facility. Policies involving detainee intake were improved, and the facility has seen fewer incidents of drugs being introduced. Inmate passing of notes, or ?kites?, to each other has also decreased, and programs for inmates have been refined. In discussing detriments to policing today, he feels that some law enforcement communities made things more difficult for themselves over the last year. Making arrests over COVID mask mandates, forcing churches to close, and politics playing a part in law enforcement means officers are afraid to do their jobs for fear of losing them. He would like to see law enforcement ?stand for the people and the Constitution a little more.? The Arizona Rangers have assist ed t he Pinal Count y Sheriff 's Office wit h large event s, DUI t ask forces, MADD m eet ings, and com m unit y pat rols. Sheriff Lam b appreciat es having t he Rangers availabe on call and is: " Thankful for the force multiplier effect and the sense of teamwork we have fostered".
The media has been known to show the worst of law enforcement and capitalize on tragedies, mishaps, and mishandled situations which inevitably occur in every profession. A result of these narratives is the outflux of many good officers from their departments. This, in combination with a decrease in the number of prospects considering entering the force, has led to a nationwide shortage in the law enforcement communities. Sheriff Lamb stated that he is always looking to do more. With the voice in law enforcement being taken away and the poor portrayal of law enforcement in mainstream media, he saw a need to correct the false narrative and skewed, biased reporting. Even TV shows like Cops and LivePD have been taken off the air, Sheriff Lamb believes viewers really enjoy ?being in the front seat of our cars because they are inherently curious and interested to see what?s going on in law enforcement.? So, with the help of like-minded investors, he had the opportunity to fill that void by creating The American Sheriff Network. It has been met with enthusiastic fan response and he is excited to see where it goes. He does not believe the network alone is the answer to the media?s inaccurate and dangerous reporting, but he does believe it will help. The American people are still going to have to push back against the negative and divisive narratives. For example, incidents of systematic racism in law enforcement are being widely reported, however there are no actual statistics that substantiate those claims. ?The men and women who put on the badge every day deserve better than how they are being portrayed,?Sheriff Lamb said. He, as well as most he knows working in law enforcement, never want to see racism, and are ?appalled and angry? when they see reports of mistreatment, because they ?work so hard to treat all people with dignity and respect.? Sheriff Lamb is enjoying his time in law enforcement, and often shares photos of his family on social media. While he would encourage it, he does not believe any of his five children will follow in his footsteps. He describes law enforcement as a ?great profession? and ?very rewarding?. Many jobs are hard, but only a few offer the brotherhood and allow one to ?come home at night knowing you?ve made a difference in your community; being able to help others, especially when they are going through some of the worst times in their lives.? Sheriff Lamb has a clear devotion to Pinal County, to our country, and demonstrates an inspirational passion for others.
