Mae's time as Sheriff in your Pioneer Trail town has come to an end, and she wants you to take her place as head lawman or law-woman. First, you'll need to complete your Sheriff's training via the new Sheriff's Academy feature that introduces two new collections and five new goals for you to complete in the game.

Sheriff's Academy

To build the first phase of the Academy, you'll need to collect lots of Speaking Trumpets, Drill Whistles, Dusty Bandanas, Drill Ropes, Steely-Eyed Stares and Armory Keys. These items are earned through a combination of harvesting crops, asking your friends to send them to you or tending trees. From there, every phase of the building process requires similar items in larger quantities that you'll need to collect. You'll receive 400 XP, 400 coins and two Angus Cows for completing this goal.

Parking Violation

The Cow Patties drop at random when tending Adult Cows. You'll earn 800 XP, three Dinners and the Paddy Wagon decoration for completing this goal.

Finally, Finals

  • Take 5 Final Cadet Exams

  • Hire 10 Friends to create a Sheriff's Posse

  • Complete the Sheriff's Academy Building Process
