What does it mean when the sheriffs come over?
The sheriff has a responsibility to respond to reported crimes (like a person dealing drugs), and the fact that it says message delivered means no further action was taken. Do you KNOW (for a fact) that it is the same neighbor calling? Most 911 dispatchers are pretty good at determining if the person calling is drunk. Also, after they respond to several calls that are unfounded, they usually understand and may 'take steps' to correct the situation. For example, in many areas, it is a crime to make false police reports. You can contact the Sheriff's Office yourself and explain the situation. Ask what the "Call for Service" message means? As a last resort, you can get a judge to issue a restraining order, but you will have to be able to PROVE to the judge you are being harassed by that specific individual, not just a suspicion on your part. That will mean, you must be able to prove that she is the one making the calls. Further, that won't keep the person from reporting you anonymously from a pay phone, etc.
Difference between Co/City Police, Sheriff and State Police?
State Police enforce State Law, they typically are involved in patrolling state highways and interstates, however, they also have specialized units. There main function is enforcing State Law. City Police Departments are involved in enforcing law within the local jurisdiction, primarily city limits. Each department has various specialized units and task forces, so not every city PD is the same. County/Sheriff's Departments have the jurisdiction of the county, but primarily focus on those areas outside of city limits. County is usually involved in serving court documents/subpneas, evictions, civil commitments, etc. In addition, the county is responsible for manning the county jail and also work in the courts. Most departments work collaboratively with each department and the roles are not concrete, but flexible depending on the situation.
What's the difference between a sheriff and a police officer?
Hi, I'm a deputy Sheriff and I'll give you the reader's digest answer to your question. Basically, the function of a police officer is the same no matter where you live in the United states. A county Sheriff in most northern states is relegated to running the county jail, court house and serving warrants and civil process. In the southern states, the county Sheriff is way more important and powerful. I've worked for the local Sheriff for over eight years, and I can assure you, he has way more powerful both in responsability and and politically. As deputy Sheriffs, we tend to leave law enforcement in the city limits to the police department. However, our authority extends to the city as well as the county. The authority of city police officers is only within city limits. Our Sheriff and the local police chief have a very good relationship with each other and our two departments work very well together. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case in all areas. Also, the police chief is appointed by and works for the city commissioners. They can hire and fire the chief at will. The Sheriff cannot be fired because the sheriff is a constitutional officer. The Sheriff must be impeached just like any elected official. That's why it is very important to choose the Sheriff carefully, they're not easy to get rid of. Anyway, hope I gave you a useful answer to your question. The previous answers were all very good as well.
When the Cook Co, Illinois Sheriff does an eviction, (forcibly remove tenant), do they file a worksheet or paperwork with the court?
I totally forgot I could add an update with a few more characters! Anyways, after scrolling through the Cook County Electronic Docket search, I've noticed a few cases have "SHERIFF EVICTION WORKSHEET FILED" What I'm asking is when the sheriff comes to the tenant and removes them from the apartment, does the sheriff, (the one who did the eviction), file that with the court? If the sheriff does an eviction, they do have a court order to do so, otherwise they can't legally evict someone.
Is it legal for the sheriff's to tell me that I need to leave town because I have nowhere to go?
Originally answered before the questions were merged: Is it legal for the sheriff's to tell me that I need to leave town because I have nowhere to go?It depends on where you are. I don’t think that the sheriff can tell you to “leave town” although a sheriff might give “friendly” advice. Unfortunately if you violate camping, loitering or panhandling laws you can be arrested, ticketed or harassed until you really have no choice. On the other hand people have won court cases regarding all three of the prior behaviors, but you likely don’t have a lawyer at the moment. Also, if someone has called the police on you for some reason, perhaps repeatedly, evicted you or got a restraining order against you, those are all things that could get the sheriff involved in your business.It sounds like it must be an awfully small town and they don’t appear to be a very welcoming town, and it appears you are jobless and homeless. Apparently it is such a small town it doesn’t have shelters, low-income boarding houses, job training or placement or even a church that hands out clean socks and soup. So, it doesn’t sound like a very promising place anyway.But as for whether a sheriff can legally flat out order you to stay out of the borders of the town, not likely —. But the police in a small town can make things so miserable that it amounts to the same thing.So, you have to decide if this is worth seeking out a lawyer who will work for you for free, or if you should get the next bus out of town, (if the town even has a bus stop).Sorry to hear of this. Hopefully the next stage in your life will be more fruitful and pleasant.
How does someone become a deputy sheriff or sheriff?
I'm looking all over the internet, but I can't find a clear answer to this question. I'm a junior in college majoring in Public Affairs and minoring in Government/International Politics, but I am very interested in becoming a sheriff. I'd finish my degree first before actually pursuing this goal, should it be the one I choose. Anyway, how does someone become a sheriff? Also, does deputy sheriff have to come first, and how long before you can become a sheriff? Thanks!
Was it ever made clear why Sherrif John Brown hated Bob Marley?
"Sheriff John Brown always hated me".For what "I don't Know".The late great Robert Nesta Marley."Every time I plant a seed he said kill it before it grows"This has a double meaning.On one hand it is about growing Ganja and the sheriff's orders to destroy the plant.On the other hand it is about stopping Bob's political views and observations about oppression from being highlighted amongst society.I think the "Sheriff" is used as a representation of political power and indicates towards "the man at the top".Bob is not singing about killing in the real sense but is saying he can kill any political propoganda with evidence against it.He spoke of the truth and the reality.One love..
