Thanks for taking the time to describe the situation - this is the first I am aware of this distinction.
Remember Sheriffs are elected and answer directly to the voters.
Police Chiefs are hired/appointed by either a Mayor or a City Council and do not answer directly to the voters.

Yes, sir. We have a constitutional sheriff in my county. We bought him a surplus World War II landing craft in case the bridge going to the peninsula falls down. He loves it.
An elected sheriff protects you, your property and your family from invasions by unelected Marxist cops. If you get a chance, try a constitutional sheriff in your county. You’ll be happy and sleep better at night.
