I thought each county in a state is supposed to have an elected sheriff, and that sheriff is number 2 behind the governor in executive authority. This don't apply to you Florida guys?

The Sheriff is a constitutional officer who assigned duties and limitations by statute. He is the supreme law enforcement officer within a speciific territorial jurisdiction.

yes, but what happens when the city Police Chief "asks" the Sheriff to stay out of the city? The Sheriff simply reminds the Police Chief that "YOUR CITY is in MY COUNTY".....etc...etc.
