According to a recent report, Warren’s oldest son Howard Buffett, has become a leaner at the border, using his organizations and wealth to boost security efforts of local authorities and volunteer groups.
Fox News reported While his interest in border security may seem odd, a closer look at the 64-year-old billionaire and philanthropist reveals he’s no stranger to the issue. Buffett owns a ranch in Cochise County, Arizona, that sits just 300 yards from the U.S.-Mexico border.
In addition, a report by The Phoenix New Times indicated a close relationship between Buffett and law enforcement, with the former reportedly gifting $30 million to date to the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office and similar groups.
According to the report, much of that money has been used to jump-start an investigative unit into human and drug smuggling, renovate one jail, build law enforcement training facilities, including a shooting range, arm officers, purchase surveillance equipment and even provide the sheriff’s office with at least three helicopters.
After giving the sheriff’s office almost $1 million in gifts, in 2013 Buffett was awarded the title of “special deputy”, the paper said. He also became an active member of the Cochise County Sheriff’s Assist Team (SAT), a private volunteer group that is said to provide security and intelligence.
It was not clear what role Buffett has in the organization, but he soon became the main source of funding for it, according to the report.
