We like him.
When it became publicized that Paris Hilton wouldn't be completing her entire sentence because there wasn't enough room in the county jail, he called the Sheriff in LaLa Land and told them he had plenty of room in the tents and he'd be glad to host her for the duration.
The Sheriff's department has several working dogs. He caught some flack a few years back when it was publicized in the news that he was spending almost 3 times as much per individual feeding the dogs as he was feeding the prisoners. His answer was that the dogs worked and never committed any crimes, unlike the prisoners.
It's never dull with Sheriff Joe around. Joe and the county DA have teamed up to enforce the new state law which penalizes employers who hire illegal aliens. Recent news reports say that illegals are leaving the state in droves, mostly headed to California and Texas:

BTW, 116 isn't the record high in Phoenix. It usually hits 115-116 for a few days in July every year. You know its going to be rough when you walk out of the house at 6:30 in the morning to go to work and it's already 96. The record was 122, set in June of 1990 (about 10 years before I moved to Arizona). They had to stop flying out of Sky Harbor airport for a few hours because the performance charts for most aircraft only go up to 120 degrees and the FAA won't let you extrapolate the takeoff performance numbers.

But it's a dry heat.
