The by-laws were based off of the Terry County Sheriff’s Posses Association, Inc. RCSP was a member of the American Association of Sheriff’s Posses and Riding Clubs. The updated purpose stated in Article II of the by-laws is as follows:

The purpose of this organization shall be: To foster interest among its members
