Rapid Response Memo: Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) - Cherokee County, NC Sheriff Event
On September 9, the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) plans to hold a day-long training event for law enforcement and a half-day seminar for local citizens titled "The County Sheriff, America's Last Hope," in collaboration with Cherokee County Sheriff Dustin Smith and local conservative grassroots organization Citizens for A Better America. The event will feature speakers, including CSPOA founder Richard Mack, Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf (Michigan), and Cherokee County Sheriff Smith. Concerns about the event arise from CSPOA's involvement in the anti-government movement, their engagement in fraudulent election integrity investigations, and the spread of election conspiracy theories in partnership with "True the Vote."
