I would say a service. Actually, it can't be classified as either. It is a part of the Executive Branch of Government. In most (all?) states, the Office of The Sheriff is established in the State Constitution. The powers delegated to the Sheriff's Office vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and may be restricted to simply providing security to the courts, serving Court papers, operating the County Jail, to operating a full-fledged law enforcement agency.
The court issues a summons or process and a sheriff or summons server delivers it to the individual. Papers are served as a result of an action filed with the court, then the court notifies those involved that they must appear.
