It's just like you've seen in the old west movies. The guy that the people have elected to hire so that his job is to do all the things that the people have the rightful power to do themselves but wouldn't have time for a life, unless they hire him, the Sheriff to do it for them. He's the one that can tell the U.S. Marshall to get in line as long as he's within the Sheriffs county.
Remember, under the constitution, the people are supposed to be the boss. The Sheriff is the only law enforcer that is elected. The others are not. However, although the President is also elected, but due to the constitutions strict limitations on federal power and assuring sovereignty to the states from the idea that the peoples power which is manifest close to home, should be from the same. In other words, self ruling, free people. Under that ideal, any power originating from afar, is not self governance. Thus, the Sheriff can even tell the President how it's going to be if indeed the President were to get out of line within the Sheriff's county.
The Sheriff, being elected, has upon himself, the tempering circumstances of being accountable to the people who can elect another, if discontent. Such is not the case with the other law enforcement agencies at any level, local, state or federal
With that great degree of power, just pray that corruption doesn't enter his office. It can be a living hell
