- The sheriff is an elected official who operates the county jails, keeps courtrooms secure during trials, and keeps the public safe through law enforcement. 
- Sheriffs are responsible for serving court papers, executing arrest warrants, providing law enforcement in county areas, and working with city law enforcement to keep population centers safe. 
- Most sheriffs in Virginia are elected in odd years for four year terms. Elections are partisan.
