Parents need to start bringing the sherriff to the school board meetings. You can always pit a sherriff against state or city police and watch the fireworks.
Can you explain more about that? My understanding is that the local sheriff has a lot more power than most people realize. If you have greater knowledge about this, I'm sure a lot of people here would appreciate learning.
The county sheriff is the highest-level law enforcement officer directly elected by the people, and as such is the highest ranking law enforcement officer in the country.
Thank you. Can you explain how that works with other law enforcement? For instance, does the sheriff have the power to arrest a city chief of police?
Anyone can arrest a criminal for criminal behavior. But if an investigation is underway and both the city police chief and the sheriff are there, the sheriff can take the lead on the investigation over the objections of the police chief. The chief can't do that.
