The county Sheriff is the highest elected official in the county. As such he is the chief law enforcement officer.
My favorite part of the Constitution is the Bill of Rights, not because it is a list of restrictions upon the government, but because they happen to be a perfect guideline for how a law enforcement officer should perform his duty while retaining the respect of the community in which he works.
Wow. Someone who really gets it. Not only does he understand that the bill of rights is a set of restrictions on government, but that respecting it is essential to maintain our communities. Excellent!
