It takes a lot of work to do this every day, every day, but I feel, as a sheriff, I should get to know my people. I serve them. They don't serve me. I serve them. They're my bosses, and the more people I can see and talk to, I love it.

More quotes by Joe Arpaio
Look at Israel. Israel is a great country for examples on how to do security.
Joe Arpaio
Everything I did in the jails - chain gangs, everything - I haven't changed the policy. I did it, I stand by it, and I'm not going to change.
Joe Arpaio
I don't care where [Ted] Cruz comes from. I don't care where the President comes from. Day one, I opened an investigation on a fraudulent government Hawaii document, period, on a birth certificate, so if you can say Cruz has fake documents, okay.
Joe Arpaio
But believe me, there's a lot I'd like to say - but I don't think the time is right now.
Joe Arpaio
I get a lot of calls from families and people who have served time and they say, 'Thank you, Sheriff. I hate the tents.' That's music to my ears.

I was taught to work hard and to be honest, and that's what I try to do, so that's it.

I believe Donald Trump is the best guy for president and I'm not going to shy away and I take the risk. I could just stay home and don't talk about any candidate.
Joe Arpaio
Many times, when you go to arrest somebody, they pull their gun, and here I am, a federal agent, telling them to drop their gun. But the gun is like that. I give them a split second to drop it, and they drop it. I could have shot them - who is going to complain?
Joe Arpaio
There's a lot of other [than Donald Trump] people that say things you may call insulting, but no one seems to care about that.
Joe Arpaio
I can get along great with the Hispanics. In fact, I sure would like to meet them, even the politicians, maybe in the back room or whatever, have a couple of beers and try to explain. But they need to understand that I enforce the laws. I want to listen to them and hear their problems. I want them to tell me what their problems are.
Joe Arpaio
I don't rely on the media. I usually average one speech a day for 25 years. People know me because I'm out there.
Joe Arpaio
A ‘liberal paradise’ would be a place where everybody has guaranteed employment, free comprehensive health care, free education, free food, free housing, free clothing, free utilities and only law enforcement personnel have guns. And, believe it or not, such a liberal utopia does indeed exist. ... It’s called prison.
Joe Arpaio
I think it doesn't matter what color you are. Everybody is getting the - getting the stick, and I'm sure Trump feels the same way.
Joe Arpaio
I just can't surrender. I can't start something and then surrender because of political reasons. I just don't do that, and that goes back to me, why I keep running when I should probably take it easy, even though I have no hobbies, and enjoy the rest of my life.
Joe Arpaio
I'm an equal-opportunity law-enforcement guy - I lock everybody up.
Joe Arpaio
You get so tired of political correctness. I'm noted for speaking out all my career.
Joe Arpaio
Now everybody is mafia. You got the Russian mafia, the Mexican mafia. Everybody is mafia these days.
Joe Arpaio
I don't look at me taking risks or if that's going to affect me politically.
