A sheriff is a law enforcement officer, typically elected by the people of a county or municipality. The term 'sheriff' is derived from the Old English word 'shire-reeve, ' which means 'county guardian.' The job of a sheriff is to enforce the law and maintain order in their jurisdiction. A MARSHAL is a law enforcement officer with similar duties to a sheriff, but they are appointed by the federal government. An ARRESTER is a law enforcement officer who has the authority to arrest people suspected of committing a crime. All three terms refer to law enforcement officers who have the power to enforce the law and protect citizens.
