Old West Mounted Lawmen's Association

About Us

What is OWMLA
You've heard about them. You've read about them. Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp, Heck Thomas, Bill Tilghman, Bass Reeves, and many more. The lawmen who tamed Americas West and took great risk for little money to accomplish their mission. Now you have an opportunity to become part of an organization that pays tribute to that special breed of men & women who were dedicated to upholding the law during our country's infancy in settling the West. Because this organization is unique in recognizing the purpose of the Old West Lawmen, we want members who have actually had experience working in law enforcement. The feeling is that those who have, walked the walk, will better understand what these men were trying to accomplish and will therefore be more dedicated members. With that in mind, the eligibility requirements are as follows:

United States Marshal
State Police
City Police
Sheriff's Department
Border Patrol
Customs Officers
Conservation/Fish and Game
Prison Guard or Official
Federal Law Enforcement
