Election 2018: Sheriff's office/sheriff's department difference


Related: Election 2018/Primary - Civics lesson- Why it's Sheriff''s 'Office'

By Dallas Luttrell

The reason the Sheriff's Office is called office and not a department is because it is an elected position.

A police department is a branch or department of a government entity much like the shoe department or the womens department of a "department" store.



A police department is a branch or department of a government entity much like the shoe department or the womens department of a "department" store. A police department is subject to a board, mayor or other authority. It is a department of a bigger body such as city, county or state.

The Sheriff' Office on the other hand is a stand alone "Office", elected by the people for the people and answers to the people not another body.

People must never forget the Office answers to the people.

Thanks,

Dallas Luttrell is a Candidate for the Republican nomination for Adair County Sheriff.
