Police Chiefs etc
Nulle,
That is the way I always thought it was. Sheriffs were almost all duly elected. Police chiefs were appointed.. Police commissioners are sometimes elected to keep an eye on the police. Sometimes appointed also. Originally the sheriff was elected to collect taxes etc. Constables town marshals town sheriffs etc were supposed to enforce the law and were usually hired by the town fathers.
