WHAT DOES DEPUTY SHERIFF MEAN IN ENGLISH?

deputy sheriff

Sheriffs in the United States

In the United States, a sheriff is a county official and is typically the top law enforcement officer of a county. Historically, the sheriff was also commander of the militia in that county. Distinctive to law enforcement in the United States, sheriffs are usually elected. The political election of a person to serve as a police leader is an almost uniquely American tradition. The law enforcement agency headed by a sheriff is typically referred to as a sheriff's office. According to the National Sheriffs' Association, there were 3,085 sheriff's offices and departments as of the end of 2008. These range in size from very small forces in sparsely populated rural areas to large, full-service law enforcement agencies, such as the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which is the largest sheriff's office and the seventh largest law enforcement agency in the United States, with 16,400 members and 400 reserve deputies. The average sheriff's department in the United States employs 24.5 sworn officers. Of the 50 U.S. states, 48 have sheriffs.
