â¢ In US, a sheriff is a police officer but not all police officers are sheriffs. â¢ A sheriff is the highest law enforcing officer in a county and is an elected official. â¢ The officers performing law enforcement duty from the office of a sheriff are called deputy sheriffs.
The more general term for the function is law enforcement officer or peace officer. A sheriff is typically the top police officer of a county, with that word coming from the person enforcing law over a shire. A person who has been deputized to serve the function of the sheriff is referred to as the deputy.
