Oath Keepers of Yavapai County was created by a friend, Chris Anderson, to whom we all owe a great debt!

When Chris left town for a great employment opportunity, Jim Arroyo was elected to lead. Under Jim’s guidance, and six members, we began to operate as Oath Keepers of Yavapai County in June 2014.

We followed the plan for Community Preparedness Teams and started with Communications.

Interest was generated and the group grew.

Then we started a Medical Team. There was more interest and more growth.

With the support of many good citizens, eventually all the remaining teams were formed: Engineering, General Preparedness, and Security. But we also created some new teams: Home Medicine (herbs and plants), and Intel!

All of this has only been accomplished with the dedication of some incredible individuals who have stepped up to be team leaders, earning great respect from the group.

Our mission is to train everyone in the area to be prepared to survive any major disaster which may occur. Knowing the limitations of federal and local resources, we recognize that our survival, our medical care, our security, will be up to us –

and IT WILL TAKE ALL OF US TO SUCCEED!

Former and current serving military, law enforcement and first responders, and many who never served in that manner, make up the Yavapai County Chapter, which meets at two locations:

The Verde Valley Group encompasses Cottonwood, Clarkdale, Sedona, and other towns in the area.

The Chino Valley Group covers the “quad cities area” around Prescott, and much more.

There are no dues, no membership, no sign in.

Just show up, and meet some terrific people working for the good of our communities.

We are your neighbors, your co-workers, your friends, your family.
Anyone who sees the possibility of disasters and the need to be ready for them.

Natural disasters happen, fires, floods, severe winds/tornadoes, hurricanes, ice storms.

Man made disasters can sometimes be worse, and of longer term: Economic collapse, pandemic, EMP/loss of the power grid, civil unrest, civil war.

These can best be survived if we ALL work together.
Let’s build a prepared community!

The Oath we take:

I (state your name) do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, pledging my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor, so help me God.
