  • Joseph M. "Joe" Arpaio is the five-time elected sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona. First voted into office in 1992, Arpaio is responsible for law enforcement in Maricopa County. This includes management of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, county jail, courtroom security, prisoner transport, service of warrants, and service of process. Since 2005, he has taken an outspoken stance as an advocate for strong enforcement of immigration law, and has become a flashpoint for opposition to Arizona's SB1070, the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act act. He is well known for attracting media attention, and styles himself as "America's Toughest Sheriff." He is being sued by the U.S. Department of Justice and in a separate class-action matter for racial profiling. Arpaio is also known for his investigation of President Barack Obama's birth certificate, and his claim that it is forged. Wikipedia
