A posse is a group of people that get together and go (ride their horses) in pursuit of a "bad" guy or group of "bad" guys. In the "Old West", a time period in American History, this was a form of justice that was taken to track down and bring back the person or group of persons who was suspected of committing a crime. Sometimes the results were not so good, if the posse caught them... sometimes they killed or hung them before they were brought back to a town to wait for a traveling judge to arrive and start a trial.
Was that what you were asking?

Generally the members of the posse were deputized by the sheriff and were official. However, even so they sometimes got carried away with justice.
