What difference is there between Sheriff and Mayor of a city?

There are different branches of government.\n\nThe sherriff deals with the enforcement of laws that have been created by the legislature.  He has no power over creating these laws, simply has the responsibility for making sure they are followed.\n\nThe mayor oversees the day-to-day operations of the local government.  He'll have funds city funds that he can allocate for different purposes.  He neither creates nor enforces the laws that govern the city.\n\nThe coroner has a responsibility that is completely different that these other individuals.  His job duties revolve around deaths.  He may be responsibly for examining someone after they have died and determining the most likely cause of their death.

You should just stick with local issues...who the mayor is of their city, etc. Keep it simple, they don't understand the abstract of  US "politics" yet...

It is my understanding that the Justice of the Peace in your parish has the same duties as the Justice of the Peace in my parish (Lafayette) and that is to resolve civil disputes of less than 500 dollars in value and to marry folks. They are elected officials which require no legal background to run for office.

I think Sheriff Joseph Arpaio is a great sheriff, I do not understand why it is not a requirement for all law enforcement to be like him. If he ran for president I would vote for him.

First are you sure you know the difference between the two.  They have entirely different jobs.  Both require degrees in police sciences and both have difficult training programs AFTER your accepted.  The URL's below will explain part of it. \n\nGood Luck

The difference between towns and cities\nThe difference between towns and cities is differently understood in different parts of the English speaking world. There is no one standard international definition of a city: the term may be used either for a town possessing city status; for an urban locality exceeding an arbitrary population size; for a town dominating other towns with particular regional economic or administrative significance. Although city can refer to an agglomeration including suburban and satellite areas, the term is not usually applied to a conurbation (cluster) of distinct urban places, nor for a wider metropolitan area including more than one city, each acting as a focus for parts of the area.\n\nUnited Kingdom\nIn the United Kingdom, a city is a town which has been known as a city since time immemorial, or which has received city status by letters patent — which is normally granted on the basis of size, importance or royal connection (traditional pointers have been whether the town has a cathedral or a university). Some cathedral cities, for example St David's in Wales, are quite small, and may not be known as cities in common parlance. (See City status in the United Kingdom.) Preston became England's newest city in the year 2002 to mark the Queen's jubilee.\n\nA similar system existed in the medieval Low Countries where a landlord would grant settlements certain privileges (city rights) that settlements without city rights didn't have. This include the privilege to put up city walls, hold markets or set up a judicial court.\n\nAustralia and New Zealand\nIn Australia and New Zealand, city is used to refer both to units of local government, and as a synonym for urban area. For instance the City of South Perth [2] is part of the urban area known as Perth, commonly described as a city. On the other hand, Gisborne in New Zealand is known as the first city to see the sun, despite being administered by a district council, not a city council.\n\nUnited States\nAn interesting phenomenon in American English is the generalisation on forms and paperwork of the term city to all settlements. Britons may be bemused by forms with fields headed, not Town and Postal code, but City and ZIP, even though the person needing to fill it in could be living in a city, a town without city status, or even a village or hamlet. In most U.S. states, a city is designated by the election of a mayor and city council, while a town is governed by a town manager, select board, or open town meeting. Very large towns exist (such as Hempstead, New York, with a population of 755,785 in 2004), and the line between town and city varies from state to state.\n\nEven though Americans are well aware that "village" means something smaller than a town, the word has often been co-opted by enterprising developers to make their projects sound welcoming and friendly. The results are so-called villages with 20 and 30-story high-rises, like Westwood Village in Los Angeles.

Depends on where you are.  Police are generally local departments governed by local politics.

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

That's pretty damn good for a Mayor. My Mayor actually gets a double dip because he was police detective with a retirement. He is drawing $75,000.00 plus his $47,000.00 for detective, and he will get his retirement from the Police, and Fireman Union. He had already had 22 years invested in the retirement. I don't that's fair, you should choose one or the other. The city allows him to have both and all of it. We have a population of 100,000 and are just a ordinary city, nothing special. I call it Republican criminals just like George Bush. Those funds could be going to roads or schools, and or for teachers.

The Administrative Assistant is usually the mouthpice for the upper level management.  In the case of the California department of Corrections.  I just retired.  The Administrative Assistant speaks with the media on the Warden's behalf.  He passes policy down as it comes from the Warden's office.  He reviews documents for approval before the warden ever sees it to make sure it meets criteria.

I vote in every local election.  The local officials - mayor, town board, judges - all determine how property tax dollars are spent.  They determine when and how roads get repaired and whether or not to write or enforce local legislation - like dog leash laws.\n\nLocal elections have a much greater direct impact on quality of life than the national elections, especially since many laws that impact daily life are state, county and local municipal laws.

A Mayor is not a legislator, he is an executive. The legislative power for a town is usually a Town Council or a Board of Directors or something like that.\n\nWhen I was in Illinois, the executive was the Village President and he met with the Village Board every week to hear complaints of how everyone's dogs were too loud and three cars on blocks was the limit for one yard.
