Amazing Arizonans: Mark Lamb on becoming a national figure, experience as a missionary

PHOENIX — On this episode of Amazing Arizonans, I talk with Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb.

Mark has become a national figure from his frequent appearances on Live PD and the popularity of “Fridays With Frank” videos.

He has over 20 years in law enforcement and was a candidate for the United States Senate in 2024.

But he has had such an interesting life. He’s lived all over the world. He speaks Spanish fluently. He served as a missionary in Argentina and volunteers all over Arizona. He tells us of a deeply moving experience he had while serving as a missionary and how it affected how he treats people.

I know you’re going to learn a lot from him in this conversation.
