Sheriffs are the oldest continuous domestic peacekeeping entity in the world. The word Sheriff comes from the English Shire-Reeve, meaning guardian of the shire. This person was elected by the people of the Shire to guard against villainy and serve the people. In 1652, the first Sheriff in the colonies was elected for the Shire of Northampton in the colony of Virginia. Today, about 98% of Sheriffs in the USA are elected by the people.1
“The Office of Sheriff is not a department of county government, it is the independent office through which the Sheriff exercises the powers of the public trust. No individual or small group hires or fires the Sheriff, or has the authority to interfere with the operations of the office. Elected sheriffs are accountable directly to the constitution of their state, the United States Constitution, statutes, and the citizens of their county… The preservation of the Office of Sheriff is vital in our republic. Outside a few elected town marshals, the Sheriff is the only head of a law enforcement agency in this nation that is accountable directly to the people of his /her jurisdiction.

It’s a common misnomer to call the sheriff’s office, the sheriff’s department. However, the Office of the Sheriff is not a department because it is an elected position just like the office of the president or office of the governor… It is an independent office, meaning that there is no government agency or position who hires or fires the sheriff, nor is there anyone who has the authority to tell the sheriff how he or she is to run their county or carry out his or her positional duties.
In essence, the sheriff is the “president” of his county. His job is act as the chief law enforcement officer, presiding over his county and any law enforcement officers in his county. He is responsible for the maintaining of the county jail. He is the only officer who acts as a bailiff and marshall of the court. This means that, as bailiff (his deputies being part of this as well), he is responsible for keeping order in the court, looking after prisoners, carrying out arrests on behalf of the court, and issuing writs (orders or commands in the name of the court). As a marshal, he is responsible for finding and capturing criminals on behalf of the court.
However, because the role of “chief law enforcement officer” and “criminal justice responsibilities” are rather vague and broad, the sheriff can use a good amount of discretion when carrying out his duties, as long as he stays within the confines of his oath of office to maintain and defend the Constitution and laws not contrary to the Constitution, both at the state and federal level.
Further, sheriffs and deputy sheriffs are the literal, living, moment by moment, daily application of the Constitution. Every interaction with a citizen must be colored by the Constitution.

First, county sheriffs have full legal authority over an entire county, including incorporated areas, although as a matter of practice, sheriffs generally police only the unincorporated areas of their counties. Second, sheriffs, as officers of the court, have full legal authority over both criminal and civil matters, unlike their municipal and state counterparts. Last, because sheriffs hold posse comitatus powers, they may exercise their authority over other police or law enforcement agencies within the county, although this power is rarely employed, as a matter of legal comity (agreement), political realities, and budgetary constraints… as sheriffs’ agencies become smaller and are less formalized, they tend to become more institutionally open and committed to community coproduction as generalist officers in a collateral approach to the crime problem, which is less invasive and less potentially damaging to the community fabric. Interestingly, it is these small informal sheriffs’ agencies that have the highest crime clearance rates; they also experience less community tension than their big-city counterparts.

Since Sheriffs are beholden to no governmental agency and only directly to the people, they swear an oath to uphold the Constitution. This oath may have lots of superfluous additives about legislative laws, as you can see in the example below, but fundamentally, and in action, it is an oath to support and uphold the Constituion, as in the Common Law.
The Oath sworn by Sheriffs in Colorado as an example is:
“I [name], do [select swear, affirm, or swear by the everliving God] that I will support the constitution of the United States, the constitution of the state of Colorado, and the laws of the state of Colorado, and will faithfully perform the duties of the office of [name of office or position] upon which I am about to enter to the best of my ability.”
This oath is a disgrace in only that it does not say United States of America, but rather refers to the corporate state of the United States.
With over 3000 Sheriffs in the USA, and with many of them already taking action to preserve the natural rights of man (CSPOA) it is already proving to be a working model for protecting the people from globalist agendas. We simply need to take the next steps and lock it in.
Find out who your local Sheriff is.
Determine their loyalty to the people, their Oath, and the natural rights of man.
If they are honorable and defend the people from enemies foreign and domestic, involve themselves in people’s lives only when a true crime is or has been committed (murder, assault, rape, theft, or trespass), and they do not fold and become stooges and thugs for politicians and plutocrats, then support your Sheriff however you can. Work with him to build more Liberty.
If they are dishonorable and harass people for legislative offenses and other nonsense that is repugnant to the Constituion and Common/Natural Law, then attempt to educate them. If they cannot be educated and do not change their ways, simply run against them. In most places, you do not need a policing background, though you may need to undergo police training within a certain timeframe of gaining the office. Even simply running a campaign against the criminal encumbant can be an educating experience for the people in your county, and inspire others to take on the task of running against him. You can also find and support a proper alternative to run for office and lend your knowledge and inspiration to him.
Finally, if your or another enter the office of Sheriff, it is vital to take a definitive stand against all those who would trample on the rights of the people. You are now the guardian of the shire/county. You defend against enemies foreign and domestic. That means arresting those who violate the rights of even one of the free people in your county, even if you must arrest commissioners, mayors, police officers, federal agents, and whoever else who might attempt to exercise false authority over the people.
No longer would traffic offenses be brought to court, because you would never write a ticket for speeding or broken taillights.
No longer would people be disarmed and robbed of their 2nd Amendment affirmed right to bear arms because you would fire any deputy and arrest any officer who attempted to do so.
No longer would jails be filled with innocent people who grew a plant, because you only saw hemp or trees growing, and found nothing unlawful.
No longer would real criminals like pedophiles and rapists be given leniency because you would ensure the safety of your county.
No longer would people fear and hate the clown pirates (police), because you would be their guardian rather than a rabid wolf stalking them and harassing their families.
I imagine 3000 anarchist Sheriffs guarding the people from the foreign governments of the states and the United States. I imagine these Sheriffs educating and working with their counties populace to create security measures against tyranny. I imagine Sheriffs creating havens for their people.
If you imagine this too, let’s take action, today, right now. Let’s take back our lives and our dignity. It’s up to us.
