In the US most if not all sheriffs are elected. Their duties and responsibilities vary from state to state and even within states. In some areas they are the primary law enforcement officials. In most areas they run the local jails and also are involved in process serving. I'm in the real estate management business so I interact with the local sheriff's offices here a fair bit, as they handle court ordered home evictions.
