His is an elected position this makes him unique among other law enforcement. With the position of Sheriff comes a tremendous amount of responsibility that many citizens of Oklahoma do not realize. In many cases he will have to operate his office and the jail on a budget that is not fully funded by the taxes of the county. He will have to supplement his budget by civil service processes, seeking grants for equipment and vehicles. He will have to protect hundreds of square miles with a minimal amount of deputies and patrol vehicles. The Sheriff will have to deal with overcrowded and some cases antiquated jails. The Sheriff must be a professional law enforcement officer with a deep desire to serve those citizens in his county. - <a href="http://www.oklahomasheriffs.com/Duties.htm" target="_blank">http://www.oklahomasheriffs.com/Duties.htm</a>I love Sheriff Mack!  <img src="/images/smilies/new/sign12.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rtfm:" title="Sign12    :rtfm:" data-shortname=":rtfm:" /></blockquote>
