Author/speaker
and former sheriff Richard Mack has served in a wide variety of roles
over the course of his nearly twenty year career in law enforcement,
which began in Provo, Utah.

Mack began his career with the Provo Police Department as a parking
enforcement cadet while attending BYU. A couple of years later he became
a full-time officer and was soon promoted to Corporal, Sergeant, and
Detective. His most traumatic experience there was a one-year assignment
as an undercover narcotics agent. After nearly 11 years at Provo PD,
Mack decided to return to his childhood turf in Arizona and run for
Graham County Sheriff. His campaign took off and he was elected in 1988.

He was sheriff for two terms until 1997. He
was named Elected Official of the Year by the Arizona-New Mexico
Coalition of Counties in 1994, received the NRA Law Officer of the Year,
inducted into the NRA Hall of Fame, 1995 Cicero Award, Samuel Adams
Leadership Award from the Local Sovereignty Coalition, and Gun Owners of
America Defender of the Second Amendment Award.

During his tenure, federal officers informed the sheriffs of the
state that they would be required to enforce the so-called “Brady Bill”
and run background checks at their expense under the law. In 1994, Mack and six other sheriffs from across the country, challenged the constitutionality of the Brady Billand ultimately, fought it all the way to the United States Supreme Court, where they won a monumental decision for freedom.

Three years later, in a landmark 5-4 split decision based on the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, Mack won his case.A graduate
of the FBI National Academy, some of Mack’s positions include: patrol
officer, undercover narcotics officer, hostage negotiator, youth
officer, school resource officer, communications supervisor, corporal,
front desk sergeant, detective, sheriff, Search and Rescue supervisor,
jail administrator, and DARE instructor.

Mack
has been a consultant on numerous cases regarding police abuse,
brutality, and other misconduct by public officials. He has joined with
other members of the law enforcement community to speak out in favor of
drug policy reform.

A graduate of Brigham Young University, Mack lives with his wife in Fredericksburg, Texas.

During the past two years Sheriff Mack has been a speaker at more
than 70 different Tea Party rallies all across the country, ranging all
the way from Honolulu to Bangor, Maine. Mack has supported this noble
movement, because it is both effective and peaceful.

Please see the ‘Speaking Engagements’ page for a list of many of the
Tea Party and other events that Sheriff Mack has spoken at in recent
years.
