"I don't have enough deputies, so I use the citizens to become posse."
Em inglês, "posse" significa:
Similar to a militia, a posse is an armed group of individual non-professionals formed to assist in the enforcement of law. Posses generally are led by sworn law enforcement officials and are active in rural areas. They are usually commissioned by a local sheriff for a limited time to complete a determined task. While the militia serves seeks military objectives, a posse is generally limited to law enforcement tasks. Modern posses also act as auxiliaries to county agencies in emergencies - usually in search and rescue efforts.
