In most states, a sheriff is the senior law enforcement official for a county, not a township. Some states, such as Virginia, have city sheriffs (because cities in Virginia, by definition, do not lie within counties), and Louisiana has parish sheriffs, a parish in Louisiana being the equivalent of a county elsewhere. Alaska has no sheriffs because Alaska has no counties.
