Very interesting. In King County WA they have an elected "County Executive" who then appoints the King County Sheriff. That Sheriff does have normal law enforcement and court duties.
I believe that is an aberration in WA state though.
- alistairSH 1y agoNeighboring Loudoun County has a sheriff handle all law enforcement duties. And the other neighboring county, Prince William, has a distinct sheriff, police department, and the detention center runs itself (not the sheriff). So the sheriff only does court room security and tracking of fugitives.
