"In 1970, he became a deputy with the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office (MCSO), serving for twenty-one years, until his retirement in 1991. During his time with the MCSO, he served in several different capacities, including with the SWAT team.
While on patrol one evening in July 1977, Pearce was shot in the chest when three suspects managed to wrestle his .357 revolver from him. Despite his wounds, Deputy Pearce shoved one of the assailants into his squad car and continued to pursue the other suspects. For his heroism he was awarded the Medal of Valor.
In 1991, Pearce became the Justice of the Peace at Maricopa Countys North Mesa Justice Court.
In 1993, Pearce returned to the MCSO as the Chief Deputy under Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Pearce then helped establish the world famous tent city to house county inmates, saving taxpayers millions in jail expansion costs.
Pearce often told reporters: Our soldiers live in tents, our boy scouts live in tents and they have done nothing wrong. I guess its ok for inmates to live in tents.
