starting with the sheriff going up to the highest law enforcement officer what is the chain of command?  who is above the sheriff?

Generally, there are separate police departments that each report to the municipality they represent.  For example, I'm assuming this would mean a county sheriff, and they would report to the county office and possibly the governor's office.  Within the department itself, the ranks are typically like this:\nhttp://faculty.ncwc.edu/toconnor/205/205lect07.htm\n\nThe organization varies by where you are.  Some cities, for example, have police commissioners, while some counties also have deputy sheriffs, etc.

you know, the military and local police offers are here to protect us but also follow orders.  this disaster was a tragedy that tested how sufficient the government is when it comes this kind of devastation.  that sheriff is a hero in my eyes.  he didn't wait for orders that were not coming and let people suffer.  he did what he swore to do, protect and serve.  what kind of encouragement and acknowledgment is it to punish him?  he deserves an award at the very least.  he went and tried to do what the highest branch of our government was supposed to be prepared to do and did not respond.  his intentions were pure and noble.

I work for the government but I am not sure if they all work the same way.  But my boss is a supervisor, above her is a manager, and then about that is the district manager.  On top of all of them is the Director.  There should be some type of listing posted somewhere at the site with the order of command.  Hope that helps.\n\nI am not exactly sure what the second question is asking.  Pleas e clarify.

What a fantastic sheriff he is. Very dedicated law man. Don't break the law and you have nothing to worry about. He would be an excellent candidate for head of homeland security. We in AZ are very happy with our sheriff. The number of volunteers he has is amazing.

Officers don't keep a list of things to pull people over for. Law enforcement officers are educated and trained to look for violations of the law or behavior that arouses suspicon of a violation of the law. To answer your question: No such list exists.

Neither is "better".  They all serve basically the same function, that being the enforcement of the laws of the state and uphold the Constitution of the United States.\nThe difference comes only in the jurisdiction served.  City Police serve within the boundries of a city.  Sheriffs and their Deputies serve within the boundries of a county (including the cities within their county).  State Police or Highway Patrolmen serve within the boudries of the entire state (including all counties and cities within the state).\nTherefore, the State Police or Highway patrol have more jurisdiction than Sheriffs, who in turn have more jurisdiction than the City Police Departments.

Police - depends upon the police department.  Generally, they go something like this:\n\nChief\nDeputy Chief\nColonel\nMajor\nCaptain\nLieutenant\nSergeant\nCorporal\nPatrolman or Patrol Officer, or Police Officer\n\nARMY:\nGeneral of the Army\nArmy Chief of Staff\nGeneral (4 stars)\nLieutenant General (3 stars)\nMajor General (2 stars)\nBrigadier General (1 star)\nColonel\nLieutenant Colonel\nMajor\nCaptain\nFirst Lieutenant\nSecond Lieutenant\nMaster Warrant Officer 5\nWarrant Officer 4\nWarrant Officer 3\nWarrant Officer 2\nWarrant Officer 1\nSergeant Major of the Army\nCommand Sergeant Major\nSergeant Major\nFirst Sergeant\nMaster Sergeant\nSergeant First Class\nStaff Sergeant\nSergeant\nCorporal\nSpecialist\nPrivate First Class\nPrivate\nPrivate (Recruit)\n\nAIR FORCE:\nGeneral of the Air Force\nAir Force Chief of Staff\nGeneral\nLieutenant General\nMajor General\nBrigadier General\nColonel\nLieutenant Colonel\nMajor\nCaptain\nFirst Lieutenant\nSecond Lieutenant\nThe Air Force does not current use Warrant Officer ranks\nChief Master Sergeant of the Air Force\nFirst Sergeant (Chief Master Sergeant)\nChief Master Sergeant\nFirst Sergeant (Senior Master Sergeant)\nSenior Master Sergeant\nFirst Sergeant (Master Sergeant)\nMaster Sergeant\nTechnical Sergeant\nStaff Sergeant\nSenior Airman\nAirman First Class\nAirman\nAirman Basic\n\nMARINES:\nCommandant of the Marine Corps\nGeneral\nLieutenant General\nMajor General\nBrigadier General\nColonel\nLieutenant Colonel\nMajor\nCaptain\nFirst Lieutenant\nSecond Lieutenant\nChief Warrant Officer 5\nChief Warrant Officer 4\nChief Warrant Officer 3\nChief Warrant Officer 2\nWarrant Officer\nSergeant Major of the Marine Corps\nSergeant Major\nMaster Gunnery Sergeant\nFirst Sergeant\nMaster Sergeant\nGunnery Sergeant\nStaff Sergeant\nSergeant\nCorporal\nLance Corporal\nPrivate First Class\nPrivate\n\nNAVY:\nFleet Admiral\nChief of Naval Operations\nCommandant of the Coast Guard\nAdmiral\nVice Admiral\nRear Admiral (upper half)\nRear Admiral (commodore)\nCaptain\nCommander\nLieutenant Commander\nLieutenant\nLieutenant Junior Grade\nEnsign\nMaster Warrant Officer\nWarrant Officer 4\nWarrant Officer 3\nWarrant Officer 2\nWarrant Officer 1\nMaster Chief Petty Officer of the Navy\nMaster Chief Petty Officer\nSenior Chief Petty Officer\nChief Petty Officer\nPetty Officer First Class\nPetty Officer Second Class\nPetty Officer Third Class\nSeaman\nSeaman Apprentice\nSeaman Recruit\n\nA rank of the same name is not necessarily the same rank level from one branch of service to another - for instance, a Navy Lieutenant is the same rank level as a Captain in the three other branches of the service.  See the chart referenced in the source link to compare.  Some of these ranks are only held by one individual at a time - for instance, there is only ever one Fleet Admiral, Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, Air Force Chief of Staff, etc.

I would try contacting Mike Huckabee, at the governor's mansion. He has the authority to call in the National Guard, and I think he has some say over the state police. Just try information and ask for help.

state police because they have authority anywhere within the state, while a county sheriff is only within the county, and the police are only within their jurisdiction

Quit with the witchhunt. You have no Idea what his problem was or if it was bullshit. If he ain't messing with anybody, leave him be. Save the lynch mob for the next door guy who is running the meth lab but does not work at WalMart. Nows who's more dangerous?

In 2000 there were nearly 800,000 full-time sworn law enforcement officers in the United States. The actual total was 796,518. This is the latest year that numbers are available from the US Dept of Justice.\n\nThe Army National Guard is composed of 325,000 soldiers. I could not find numbers on the Air Guard or the Reserve components of the Armed Forces.

Border Patrol. I live in Arizona, and appreciate the work that our Sheriff, Joe Arpaio is doing in arresting illegal immigrants and coyotes. He is doing something that all law enforcement officials should have been doing, securing our borders and letting anyone here illegally know that you can not break the laws..

Well Im a deputy in NC.  The pay is ok, but nobody gets into law enforcement for the pay. If pay is important to you, then go somewhere else.  Shifts are different everywhere, mine for example are 12 hour shifts.  Typically you dont have to live in the county, but if they have take home cars for deputies, than you do have to live in the county.  I have known some Sheriffs tell people they need to move into the county to get the job.  Sheriffs are elected officials and if a new one gets in the rules can change.  Benefits should be the same as a typical county employees. If its a good size county, then the benefits should be good.  Retirement benefots for most law enforcement officers are usually pretty good as well.  Alot of county deputies have second jobs as well or work security for places under the table.  This is mainly when you work 12 hour shifts and have more days off due to this.  Also, in NC and probably other places, Deputies can do more than police officers.  We can serve civil papers and do other things city cops cant.  I hope this helps, like I said if money is a major concern, then law enforcement is not a good choice.  I for one have no problem with my wife making more money than I do, because I know my job is important and I am making a difference in the world.  Oh and one more thing, you have to have thick skin, such as the infants on here that bash police.  This will happen, then only justification you get is watcing them cry and beg when they get caught doing something and dont wanna go to jail.  Then they are not so tough!!
