There is an analogous, although independently developed, office in [[Iceland]], the {{lang|is|sýslumaður}}, which is commonly translated to English as ''sheriff''. ==Description== In [[British English]], the political or legal office of a sheriff, term of office of a sheriff, or jurisdiction of a sheriff, is called a shrievalty&lt;ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/shrievalty|title=Definition of SHRIEVALTY}}&lt;/ref> in England and Wales, and a [[sheriffdom]]&lt;ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scottishlaw.org.uk/scotlaw/sheriff.htm|title=Sheriff Courts and Sheriffdoms in Scotland - Scots Law|publisher=Kevin F Crombie|date=2009|access-date=19 April 2017}}&lt;/ref> in Scotland. In modern times, the specific combination of legal, political and ceremonial duties of a sheriff varies greatly from country to country. * In [[England]], [[Northern Ireland]], or [[Wales]], a sheriff (or [[high sheriff]]) is a ceremonial county or city official. * In [[Scotland]], sheriffs are [[judge]]s.&lt;ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scotland-judiciary.org.uk/36/0/Sheriffs|title=Sheriffs - Judicial Office Holders - About the Judiciary |website=Judiciary of Scotland|access-date=2015-04-07|archive-date=2018-08-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180817210101/http://www.scotland-judiciary.org.uk/36/0/Sheriffs|url-status=dead}}&lt;/ref> * In the [[Republic of Ireland]], in some counties and in the cities of [[Dublin]] and [[Cork (city)|Cork]], sheriffs are legal officials similar to [[bailiff]]s. * In the [[United States]], a [[Sheriffs in the United States|sheriff]] is a sworn [[law enforcement officer]] whose duties vary across states and counties. A sheriff is generally an elected [[County (United States)|county]] official, with duties that typically include policing [[unincorporated area]]s, maintaining county [[jail]]s, providing security to courts in the county, and (in some states) serving [[warrant (law)|warrants]] and court papers. In addition to these policing and correction services, a sheriff is often responsible for enforcing [[civil law (common law)|civil law]] within the jurisdiction. * In [[Canada]], sheriffs exist in various forms, with duties and powers depending on the province. In general, the provincial sheriff services manage and transport court prisoners and serve court orders. In some provinces, sheriffs provide security for the court system, protect public officials and support investigations by local police services. In [[Alberta]], sheriffs perform various law enforcement duties in a supplementary capacity, such as traffic enforcement and responding to 9-1-1 calls in rural areas. * In [[Australia]] and [[South Africa]] sheriffs are legal officials similar to [[bailiff]]s. In these countries there is no link maintained between counties and sheriffs. * In [[India]], a sheriff is a largely ceremonial office in a few major cities. ==Europe== ===United Kingdom=== {{further|High sheriff|List of shrievalties|Sheriffs of the City of London}} The [[Old English]] term designated a royal official, a reeve, responsible for managing a [[shire]] or county on behalf of the king.

Another important duty was the collection of taxes on behalf of the crown. This process involved each division of the county (known as the [[Hundred (division)|hundred]]) paying [[danegeld#Norman era|geld]] (a form of land tax). To assess how much people had to pay, a clerk and a knight were sent by the king to each [[county]]. They sat with the sheriff of the county and with a select group of local [[knights]] (two knights from each hundred). After it was determined what geld was to be paid, the knights of the hundred and the bailiff of the hundred were responsible for getting the money to the sheriff, and the sheriff was responsible for getting the money to the [[Exchequer]].&lt;ref name=Bartlett>{{Cite book|last=Bartlett|first=Robert|title=England Under the Norman and Angevin Kings 1075 -1225|year=2000| editor= J.M.Roberts|publisher=OUP|location=London|isbn=978-0-19-925101-8|pages=165–167}}&lt;/ref> Sheriffs loyal to certain nobles could and did sabotage the careers of [[Knight|knights]] against whom they, or a noble they were loyal to, bore a grudge.&lt;ref name=":12">{{Cite book |last=Schama |first=Simon |author-link=Simon Schama |title=A History of Britain 1: 3000 BC-AD 1603 At the Edge of the World? |title-link=A History of Britain (TV series)#DVDs and books |publisher=[[BBC Worldwide]] |year=2003 |isbn=978-0-563-48714-2 |edition=Paperback 2003 |location=London |pages=153, 155}}&lt;/ref> Groups of sheriffs with significant connections had more ''[[de facto]]'' power in the legal system than most English knights, despite their lack of land.&lt;ref name=":12" /> The term and duties were preserved in England even after the [[Norman Conquest]].

First established in the 18th century based on the English high sheriffs, they were the executive arm of the judiciary, responsible for assembling jurors, bringing people to trial, supervising the gaoling (imprisonment) of prisoners and seizing and selling property. After the mid-19th century the responsibilities and powers of the role were reduced and the positions became ceremonial. The sheriffs of Mumbai and Kolkata still exist, although the post in [[Chennai]] was abolished in 1998. In present times the sheriff has an apolitical, non-executive role, presides over various city-related functions and conferences and welcomes foreign guests. The post is second to the mayor in the protocol list. ===Philippines=== In the [[Philippines]], a former [[History of the Philippines (1898–1946)|colony]] of the United States, the office of sheriff also exists.

The office is now called {{lang|no|politistasjonssjef}} (police station chief), or in some places{{lang|no|politiavdelingssjef}} (police unit chief). Because the police has taken over most typical 'sheriffs' duties from the year 2000 onwards, there is no longer a difference between the former rank of a "sheriff's deputy" ({{lang|no|lensmannsbetjent}}) and that of a regular police officer ({{lang|no|politibetjent}}). The lensmann has been elected by the [[Municipal_council#Norway|municipal council]] since the year 1293{{Dubious|date=May 2024}}, but was nominated by the {{lang|no|[[sysselmann]]}}, the appointed governor. ===Iceland=== {{Main|Sýslumaður}} In [[Iceland]], ''sýslumenn'' (singular {{lang|is|sýslumaður}}, translated "sheriff")&lt;ref>{{Cite web|url=https://en.glosbe.com/en/is/Sheriff|title=Sheriff in Icelandic - English-Icelandic Dictionary &amp;#124; Glosbe}}&lt;/ref> are administrators of the [[State (polity)|state]], holders of the [[executive power]] in their [[Jurisdiction (area)|jurisdiction]] and heads of their Sheriff's Office. Sheriffs are in charge of certain legal matters that typically involve registration of some sort and executing the orders of the court. The duties of the sheriffs differ slightly depending on their jurisdiction but they can be broadly categorised as: * Duties of all sheriffs: [[Marriage|marital]] matters (such as general registration of [[marital status]] and performing [[civil marriage]]s), [[Age of consent|statutory]] matters, [[inheritance]] matters and more.&lt;ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.syslumenn.is/allir |title = Verkefni allra sýslumanna |language = is |trans-title=Tasks of all sheriffs |access-date = 31 January 2012}}&lt;/ref> * Duties of all sheriffs except in [[Reykjavík]]: collection of public fees, publication of licences and permits for various personal and business purposes and more.&lt;ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.syslumenn.is/utanrvk/ |title = Verkefni sýslumanna utan Reykjavíkur |language = is |trans-title=Tasks of sheriffs outside Reykjavík |access-date = 31 January 2012}}&lt;/ref> * Special duties of some sheriffs: in some jurisdictions the sheriff is also the [[police commissioner|commissioner of police]].&lt;ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.syslumenn.is/serstok-verkefni/ |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070629020702/http://www.syslumenn.is/serstok-verkefni/ |url-status = dead |archive-date = 29 June 2007 |title = Sérstök verkefni sýslumanna |language = is |trans-title = Special tasks of sheriffs |access-date = 31 January 2012 }}&lt;/ref> There are 24 sheriffs and sheriff jurisdictions in Iceland. The jurisdictions are not defined by the [[administrative divisions of Iceland]] but are mainly a mixture of [[County|counties]] and [[Municipality|municipalities]]. The post of sheriff was mandated by the [[Old Covenant (Iceland)|Old Covenant]], an agreement between the [[Icelandic Commonwealth]] and the [[Norway|Kingdom of Norway]]. The agreement which was ratified between 1262 and 1264 makes the post of sheriff the oldest secular position of government still operating in Iceland.&lt;ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.syslumenn.is/syslumenn/saga-embaettanna/ |title = Saga sýslumanna |language = is |trans-title=History of sheriffs |access-date = 31 January 2012 |quote = Sýslumanna er fyrst getið hérlendis í einu handriti að sáttmála þeim sem Íslendingar gerðu við Noregskonung og öðlaðist staðfestingu á árunum 1262 til 1264 og síðar var nefndur Gamli sáttmáli, en með sáttmála þessum má segja að Íslendingar hafi gerst þegnar Noregskonungs. Eru sýslumenn elstu veraldlegu embættismenn sem enn starfa hérlendis og hafa alla tíð verið mikilvægur hluti stjórnsýslunnar.}}&lt;/ref> == See also == * [[Constable]] * [[Marshal]] * [[Police]] *
