About Us

The organization was originally formed in 1964 as the "Norco Mounted Police". The group provided law enforcement services to the community until 1979 when the city incorporated and contracted full time deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. Since then, the Mounted Posse continues to work closely with the Norco Sheriff's Department, providing services within the city and surrounding communities.

As the Mounted Posse evolved, it has become an all-volunteer organization taking direction from the City of Norco, Norco Sheriff, Norco Fire Department, and the Norco Animal Control Department. It has expanded its scope to promote charitable and public services, and promote education and safety among equine enthusiasts as well as non-riding citizens of the community. The Posse organizes, sponsors, hosts and participates in many activities throughout each year including a professional rodeo and the famous Mohave Trail Ride.
