Formed in 1994, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Communication Posse is a 501(c)3 nonprofit group. We "assist and cooperate with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office in the maintenance of peace, law, and order within the County of Maricopa, State of Arizona, at any time and in any manner as and when requested to do so." All of our members are Amateur ("Ham") Radio Operators. New members are expected to have their license already or acquire it within one year of joining.
The Communications Posse's callsign is K7MCS (Maricopa County Sheriff). We hold a radio net every Tuesday night at 2000 Hours on the Thompson Peak Repeater, 448.825 MHz (PL 100.0 Hz). We hold our monthly meeting at 1830 Hours on the third Wednesday of every month, except December. The location is the Enforcement Support building, located at 3325 West Durango Street in Phoenix. Visitors are always welcome.
