It's a holdover from Merry Old England, actually. Sheriff (shire-reeve) is specifically a county (shire) officer (reeve). So we're really a perpetual Medieval Times LARP.
The sheriff is at least elected in most places. Police departments are usually appointed by the council. Most of the time it doesn't change anything, but occasionally a comrade slips into the position after the 95 year old incumbent croaks and people forget that you vote for a sheriff.

to think that Q guy would probably dome Pence on sight at this point lol
It's clearly from 2018 because that Q guy would want to kill Pence now
Shadows in this picture are so weird, it looks like Pence and the guy on the right have giant black eyes. Reminded me of that season of true blood with the sex goddess or whatever.
