County Sheriff from WikiPedia:
A sheriff is in principle a legal official with responsibility for a county. In practice, the specific combination of legal, political, and ceremonial duties of a sheriff varies greatly from country to country.
The word "sheriff" is a contraction of the term "shire reeve". The term, from the Old English sc?rgerefa, designated a royal official responsible for keeping the peace (a "reeve") throughout a shire or county on behalf of the king. The term was preserved in England notwithstanding the Norman Conquest. From England the term spread to several other countries, like Scotland, Ireland, and the United States.
The position of sheriff now exists in various countries:
Sheriffs are administrative legal officials (similar to bailiffs) in Ireland, Australia, and Canada.Sheriffs are judges in Scotland.Sheriff is a ceremonial position in England, Wales and India.In the United States of America the role of a sheriff varies between different states and counties.
