Kings County Sheriff Dave Putnham accepted a $15,000 donation Aug. 18 from the Kings County Sheriff’s Posi, an equestrian support group that raises funds through annual events including a crab feed. The funds were deposited to the Kings County Sheriff’s Foundation and will be available for discretionary needs such as explorer events, K‑9 support and air‑unit needs.

"We're grateful to accept this donation this year," Putnham said, noting the Posi has a long local tradition and that the gift gives the sheriff’s office flexibility to support training, equipment and community programs. Posi members also described historical details about the group’s uniform traditions and fundraising activities and invited the public to a crab feed fundraiser at Burus Park on Aug. 29.
