Administrative receivership differs from simple receivership in that an administrative receiver is appointed over all of the assets and undertaking of the company. This means that an administrative receiver can normally only be appointed by the holder of a floating charge.
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 law enforcement agency headed by a sheriff is commonly referred to as a sheriff's office or sheriff's department. According to the National Sheriffs' Association, an American sheriff's advocacy group, there were 3,085 sheriff's offices and departments as of the end of 2008.
