Among a sheriff's duty is to preserve peace while protecting life and property. There are definitely a number of cases in which citizens will interact with a sheriff's department. For one instance, Prisoners are monitored by Sheriff's departments because part of their job entails being on-duty at prisons. Deputy Sheriff Helen Camua, my CP contact, does jail duty as well as patrolling duties (which I will be accompanying in ride-alongs) around the county. There are many different duties that a deputy can hold such as a Bailiff in court, or serving as a back-up to Police Officers. As I've mentioned in my other blog posts, Sheriffs have police powers. They are able to apprehend criminals, recover lost or stolen property, and enforce all Federal, State, and county laws. With that said, the overall relationship between citizens and my CP varies. Outside of those in custody however, citizen's participation gives a sheriff their sense of duty. Without the citizens, Sheriffs would not have anybody to protect and serve. I believe the citizen's participation plays a key role in the Sheriffs work.
