@@cbj008g7 not exactly. usually the county is in charge of arrest warrants and stuff of that nature where as police usually just police cities with patrolling etc.
Basically. Bigger cities usually have their own police department, while the other smaller cities and towns in the county are covered by the sheriff's department. And for the State troopers, they almost always patrol the highways.
For anyone looking for more in depth answer. The sheriff is in theory in charge of the whole county. When a city incorporates mean they want to be in charge of themselves essentially they may create a police department. So the sheriff patrols unincorporated areas within the county
I think they meant a sheriff's deputy, not the sheriff of the county. Police work for a municipality which is considered a corporation by US code. Cops have limited jurisdiction within city limits and patrol that city. A sheriff's deputy patrols the entire county and has higher jurisdiction than city cops and can patrol the city and county areas.
@@Jamesright449 county or country, as in countryside. But i fixed it for you and the other guy. Stop getting hung up on a single word that might have been used in a different way you aren't used to
That was a good description, but I feel like it was only half of it. It's probably important to talk about their job duties as well, because they are a little different.
The best example today is when the sheriff deputy pulled over the officer for speed couple days ago. He was able to pull him over because he was a sheriff and had jurisdiction over the city officer.
@@lolhi3105 In Texas theoretically an police officer from Dallas can pull you over, fine you or even arrest you in say Houston. This is because they are licensed by the state. However that also means they will have to go to court in that county when the time comes and local police frowns on it, so it rarely happens. If it is a serious crime they will detain you and call local police to come and take over. Departments also have mutual aid agreements.
Sheriff's Dept usually, but not always, patrols the county. Leaving specific cities and municipalities to be patrolled by their respective police departments
Unless those cities are also part of the county, in which case their jurisdiction also falls there. Also I don’t know what you mean by specific municipalities, both counties and cities are municipalities. Did you mean like a town or a village?
@@KufLMAO that's what I meant, I figured people would be able to make the inference on their own so I used municipalities instead of wasting time by typing out extra words that weren't needed
@@KufLMAO Generally county sheriff will leave enforcing the law to the city police within the city limits. Constables where used will as they generally serve warrants and such countywide even within the city. However any cop is within their right to enforce the law if they choose. In some states even a cop from another city can theoretically detain and arrest you though they usually won't unless something serious.
Then you also have some county police departments too. Me personally I work for the City Sheriff's Office where our main function is the courts, civil process, and the jail.
Same in Florida lmfao, I live in the Palm Harbor area and for every 3 PCSO cars I see, I also see at least 1 Largo/Clearwater PD car. I've literally seen a Tampa PD car down here. Like what?
There's only one sheriff per county, and he's usually administrative. He has deputies, like the police chief has officers. A deputy can stop/arrest you in the city or county. A police officer's jurisdiction is the city limits.
I live in Memphis,TN and the county encompasses about 5-8 cities. It's rare but happens in some states. We have county deputies in all of the cities within the county however each city has its own police department. We also have state troopers(state police) in the same area.
They are usually the coolest in my experience. Usually country boys that don't sweat the little things. Here in the Houston area we have constables, they are the worst about giving traffic tickets. They were originally intended to serve warrants, but they do it all now.
Police follow whatever corrupt law is passed even if it unconstitutional and a elected Sheriff has to follow the constitution. That's the real difference coming from a deputy.
i'll simple this one. sherrifs are usually nicer during traffic stops and dont have a quota. but GOD FORBID you commit serious crimes or they turn into your worst nightmare. police are usually the opposite.
Based on my experience in gta5. U have police downtown in the city. When u go out on the highway to some rural area, u will have sheriff chasing you instead of cop
every department is different with their duty weapon policy. for example, my department used to be an option of a .40 or .45 after your probation period was up otherwise you were stuck with a 9 (a 147 grain subsonic ONLY)
The U.S. Marshals function as part of the federal U.S. Department of Justice. Police departments function at the city level. It's like a Amazon delivery driver giving orders to a USPS city carrier
For those wondering: Deputies (“sheriff’s”) just have different jurisdiction. Which is the county. Like instead of MPD, OPD, EMS whatever city PD it is, it’s OCSO, WCSO, etc. you get the point? It goes from PD (police department) to SO (sheriffs office) which is just the law enforcement service for the COUNTY, not an individual corporated township. They sometimes also have different specialized units. Like where I live, there are smaller cities that make up the county, and because of that each department doesn’t have the budget or resources to all have a tac unit. So the county sheriffs office is the only department that has one. It saves money and resources and is just as effective. Hope this helps anyone who needed it
Only partly true. Chiefs of Police are APPOINTED (usually by a mayor or a city council). Sheriffs are voted in. This makes a major difference, as a Chief of Police can be randomly fired, while a Sheriff can (generally) only be voted out next time.
Police: Almost anyone can become one. Works for the city government, answers to the city government Sheriff: Voted for by the people. Works for the people, answers to the people.
A sheriff also has state jurisdiction which means they can conduct their business all across the state, a patrol officer is a local jurisdiction which means they can only conduct their work in said city.
Additionally sheriff deputies handle civil matters such as property disputes, eviction notices and when people are getting sued, deputies “serve” the papers. They also handle security of the courthouse. They handle regular police work in the county whereas police officers handle it in the city limits
That makes sense. Every policeman that i've dealt with is a prick with a power trip But pretty much Every sheriff I've dealt with seems like a normal person
Also everyone is forgetting a sheriff is voted into office by their constituents. The people have more of a say in law enforcement than with police departments.
Depends on where you live in the country. I work as a Sheriffs Officer and I mainly work within the courts providing security. I also help transport prisoners to different counties for court. However I know some states where the sheriffs department also respond to calls for service and work inside the county jails supervising inmates.
The primary difference between a police officer and a deputy sheriff is their jurisdiction, or the geographical area in which they can legally operate. A deputy sheriff typically possesses jurisdiction over an entire county, which may contain several small towns and cities.
Police Department’s are assigned to a city. While a Sheriff Department is assigned to a county and is assigned to multiple city’s with in the county. Now you know.
Sheriff himself is appointed and elected by the people, he hires and appoints deputies to do patrol work. Typically the sheriffs agencies works in more rural areas and small towns. In some states local jails are required by law to be run by the sheriff, so the sheriff is also responsible for them as well.
For those wondering wtf he just said. He basically dodged the question. As police officer he just patrols the town or city he’s stationed at a deputy sheriff is responsible for the whole county
The Sheriff upholds the CONSTITUTION/LAW!!! Police enforce policy!!! Key phrase: "appointed by the people" This is why the police can violate your "rights"
I think they meant what’s the difference between a police officer and a deputy. As a deputy I was selected by a Sheriff and became deputized by the Sheriff and I go where I am told and do what the county needs of me in a law enforcement capacity. Police are municipal and work under the hierarchy of the city’s police department(s). Then there are state troopers, etc. law enforcement is a very long arm across the world. From local, state, federal, and international.
Laws are passed by duly elected officials as suggested by their constituents, therefore, the people. A council of them decides these laws, not a single person. Police are employees of their jurisdiction to enforce these laws in the name of the said jurisdiction. You are correct: It is the ONLY legal law enforcement.
Sheriff is constitutionally elected in a county. They have jurisdiction throughout the county but usually patrol outside city limits and unincorporated areas but there are exceptions. A Police chief is hired by the mayor, city manager & city council of a city. Their jurisdiction is usually within city/town limits. Then there is state police/Highway patrol/DPS which have state jurisdiction but often patrol highways/state roads and rural areas with exceptions.
I think they are asking about Deputies! I’m a Deputy in Florida…The major difference between Police Officers and Deputies is jurisdiction. Think about the city you live in…that’s what Police Patrol…Sheriff covers the county. Police officers patrol areas are significantly smaller than that of a Deputy. A police officers zone may be a few blocks to maybe 3miles. A Deputy’s zone may stretches 10-20miles.
Should explain that police are employed by the sheriffs to oversee cities in their stead. But the sheriff is the only formally recognized form of law enforcement.
I think they wanted to know the difference in roles of Police Officers vs Deputy Sheriffs
They do the same things, but the Sheriff's cover a whole county while the police cover a city

That doesn’t mean that they don’t have jurisdiction within that city. In fact, they can determine whether or not a law is even enforceable.
