The highest-ranking officers of boroughs and parishes are also known as police chiefs. In large urban areas, some departments are led by an overseer who is not a sworn officer, usually referred to as a commissioner. In these departments, the police chief is the highest-ranking police officer of the agency but not the department head. The <a href="/wiki/New_York_City_Police_Department" title="New York City Police Department">New York City Police Department</a> is one such case where the commissioner is the head of the NYPD. The resources available to the head of a police department vary greatly; the chief of a small town may be the only paid employee of the police department with volunteer officers at their disposal only on certain occasions. On the other hand, the chief of a major city may have thousands or in the case of very large cities such as <a href="/wiki/New_York_City,_New_York" class="mw-redirect" title="New York City, New York">New York</a> tens of thousands of sworn officers. Such a department may have thousands of employees other than police officers, including operators, secretaries, and unsworn peace officers. Alternative titles for a chief of police include <a href="/wiki/Police_commissioner" title="Police commissioner">police commissioner</a>, colonel, police superintendent, police president or police director. </p><p>A <a href="/wiki/Sheriffs_in_the_United_States" title="Sheriffs in the United States">sheriff</a> is the chief of a county law enforcement agency. Although sheriffs are not usually counted as police chiefs, their agencies usually have the powers and role of a police department (although in some rare cases, the role of a sheriff's agency is limited to non-policing matters such as courtroom security). The usual difference between a sheriff and a police chief is that <a href="/wiki/Sheriff" title="Sheriff">sheriffs</a> are elected (except in New York City, Rhode Island and Hawaii) and responsible for a county<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> whereas a police chief manages law enforcement in a city or town and is appointed by its local government. Many <a href="/wiki/State_constitution_(United_States)" class="mw-redirect" title="State constitution (United States)">state constitutions</a> require every county to have a sheriff; some make no provision for this position to be eliminated even in the case of the formation of a <a href="/wiki/Consolidated_city%E2%80%93county" class="mw-redirect" title="Consolidated city–county">consolidated city–county</a> or "<a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_government" class="mw-redirect" title="Metropolitan government">metropolitan government</a>" because of which a decision on the division the powers between the county sheriff and the city chief of police is made. The usual compromise allows the chief of police to exercise law enforcement jurisdiction and to give the sheriff and his deputies authority over <a href="/wiki/County_jail" class="mw-redirect" title="County jail">jails</a> and the serving of <a href="/wiki/Court_summons" class="mw-redirect" title="Court summons">civil papers</a>. An alternative and lesser-used solution is to make the office of sheriff a purely ceremonial one. One other solution, an example of which is seen in the case of the <a href="/wiki/Las_Vegas_Metropolitan_Police_Department" title="Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department">Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department</a>, is to provide for the sheriff to simultaneously serve as the chief of police, thus remaining as the chief law enforcement officer (CLEO) of the county. Other titles for the executives of Sheriff's Departments include colonel, superintendent, and director. </p><p>The fraternal organization <a href="/wiki/International_Association_of_Chiefs_of_Police" title="International Association of Chiefs of Police">International Association of Chiefs of Police</a> (IACP) is an organization that many chiefs of police are associated with. </p><p>The extent to how much a police a police department is overtly influenced by <a href="/wiki/Politics" title="Politics">politics</a> is also an important topic and varies greatly from one jurisdiction to another. Increasingly, all U.S. law enforcement officers including small-town police chiefs and their charges are being required to meet at least minimum levels of professional training. </p><p>The rank insignia for the chief of a large or medium-sized department most often consists of three or four gold stars, similar to the insignia of a <a href="/wiki/Lieutenant_general_(United_States)" title="Lieutenant general (United States)">lieutenant general</a> or <a href="/wiki/General_(United_States)" title="General (United States)">general</a> in the army. Smaller departments and state agencies most often consists of silver or gold eagles similar to <a href="/wiki/Colonel_(United_States)" title="Colonel (United States)">colonel</a> in the army; however, several small departments with only a few dozen employees have been known to possess five star rank insignia for the police chief, the same as a <a href="/wiki/General_of_the_Army_(United_States)" title="General of the Army (United States)">General of the Army</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://www.sun-sentinel.com/2019/10/14/most-florida-sheriffs-wear-four-stars-on-their-collars-why-does-browards-gregory-tony-wear-five/">[1]</a>. On the opposite, some extremely small police department chiefs wear no rank insignia at all, or simply a pin which reads "CHIEF". </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Gallery">Gallery</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Chief_of_police&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Gallery"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px; height: 150px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:John_Addison_Gurley,_US_Congressman_from_Ohio.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="Pensacola, Florida, town marshal, Stephen Mallory 1832"><img alt="Pensacola, Florida, town marshal, Stephen Mallory 1832" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/80/John_Addison_Gurley%2C_US_Congressman_from_Ohio.jpg/102px-John_Addison_Gurley%2C_US_Congressman_from_Ohio.jpg" decoding="async" width="102" height="120" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/80/John_Addison_Gurley%2C_US_Congressman_from_Ohio.jpg/154px-John_Addison_Gurley%2C_US_Congressman_from_Ohio.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/80/John_Addison_Gurley%2C_US_Congressman_from_Ohio.jpg/205px-John_Addison_Gurley%2C_US_Congressman_from_Ohio.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2563" data-file-height="3000" /></a></span></div> <div class="gallerytext">Pensacola, Florida, town marshal, <a href="/wiki/Stephen_Mallory" title="Stephen Mallory">Stephen Mallory</a> 1832</div> </li> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px; height: 150px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Portrait_of_the_Hungarian_Count_Agoston_Haraszthy.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="San Diego, California, sheriff and city marshal, Agoston Haraszthy 1850"><img alt="San Diego, California, sheriff and city marshal, Agoston Haraszthy 1850" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/Portrait_of_the_Hungarian_Count_Agoston_Haraszthy.jpg/100px-Portrait_of_the_Hungarian_Count_Agoston_Haraszthy.jpg" decoding="async" width="100" height="120" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/Portrait_of_the_Hungarian_Count_Agoston_Haraszthy.jpg/149px-Portrait_of_the_Hungarian_Count_Agoston_Haraszthy.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/Portrait_of_the_Hungarian_Count_Agoston_Haraszthy.jpg/199px-Portrait_of_the_Hungarian_Count_Agoston_Haraszthy.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1670" data-file-height="2011" /></a></span></div> <div class="gallerytext">San Diego, California, sheriff and city marshal, <a href="/wiki/Agoston_Haraszthy" title="Agoston Haraszthy">Agoston Haraszthy</a> 1850</div> </li> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px; height: 150px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:John_S_Folk.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="Brooklyn, NY, police chief John S.
