The sheriff
In the United States, each county elects a "Sheriff". The Sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer of the county, and is also responsible for the carrying out of court orders and county tax codes. The Sheriff delegates his (or her) power to the "Sheriff's Office" (which is similar to a police department).
The State is above the county sheriff. The county sheriff pretty much means they have the satisfaction of being sheriff. Then above the state is Federal. Which is pretty much the FBI and Other stuff like that
Not enough information supplied in question. "High Court" of WHAT county, state, or nation?
Any duly constituted law enforcement officer has the power to arrest a Sheriff or, for that matter, any other politically elected or appointed office holder, regardless of their function in the government.The office of Sheriff is a state constitutional office. The ONLY two persons who can RELIEVE a Sheriff of their duties are the Governor of the state or the County Coroner of the sheriff's county. However since neither of these two government officials possess the power of arrest technically, they can't 'take him into custody,' but they can strip him of his powers.
State police typically have more power than a sheriff because they are responsible for enforcing state laws across the entire state. Sheriffs, on the other hand, are usually responsible for law enforcement within a specific county and their authority is limited to that jurisdiction. State police may also have additional resources and training compared to sheriff's departments.
The sheriff is the top law enforcement officer in a county in a state of the U.S. A sheriff is to the county of a state what the police officer is to a city or municipality. While a policeman is sworn to uphold the law within the city limits, the authority of the sheriff extends throughout the county. The sheriff can enforce traffic laws, can respond to disputes or will show up to investigate the report of crimes anywhere within the county (but probably outside the city limits of towns that have their own police forces). He may serve court documents, can execute warrants or otherwise use the power of his office to arrest and detain a citizen for cause.The role of sheriff varies in different jurisdictions. In Massachusetts, for example, sheriffs are not law enforcement officers although they do have a very limited authority to enforce the law and have limited public safety roles. Sheriff's deputies escort prisoners and the sheriff's department is in charge of county jails within county limits. Sheriffs and their deputies serve and execute, within their counties, all precepts lawfully issued to them and all other process required by law to be served by an officer. Although county governments were abolished some time ago, sheriff's departments are organized by county and they are state employees.
A County "Sheriff" in most (all?) states is a State Constitutional Officer and an elective (as opposed to an appointive) position.The Sheriff (and his deputies) have the power to enforce BOTH the criminal AND the civil statutes of the state, whereas 'police' departments may only enforce criminal law.A Sheriff possess wide powers under the state constitution and is considered to be the the chief law enforcement officer of the entire county, regardless of whether the individual municipalities within the county have their own chiefs or not. His power exceeds and supersedes theirs when he wishes to exercise it.A "Deputy Sheriff" is simply the title/rank of those who the Sheriff chooses to "deputize" and who carry out the duties of the Sheriff's office, which in today's world are many and varied (e.g.: operation of the jails - court and judicial security - service of court papers - uniformed patrol - etc - etc). Deputies also can exercise their authority anywhere in their entire county and may take law enforcement action regardless of what municipality they may be in.
The answer would be Sheriffs and Deputy Sheriffs. (in the US) Some counties do not vest overall law enforcment power in a Sheriff's office and they have, instetad, County Police Departments.
The Meiji restoration turned Japan in to a modernized imperial power.
The county Sheriff has the undisputed and supreme authority over all and any in his county. The Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution is the supreme law of the US and Article 1 section 8 is where they lay claim to their power as well as the 10th amendment. A game warden's authority is strictly limited with the dealing's of the game and fish. The Supreme Court ruled that there can be only one supreme arresting authority in the county and that responsibility falls on the Sheriff. This prevents the conflicts between city police, state police, fish and Game, BlM and all the others proclaiming the authority.
Japan became a modern industrialized power
