In most states, a County Sherriff is a directly-elected position responsible to the voters of his/her County. Without money, however, the office can do little so budgets passed by the county's Board, Commission or however-named local taxing body provide a FUNCTIONAL responsibility to that body. In short, your County Commission probably "fie" the Sherriff, but they can make his orher job MUCH harder (or easier) depending on relationships.

How long does a sheriff have to turn in a police report in ca It's been a month since the arrest and the District Att. has yet to even receive the report.?

The DA needs to forcefully remind the Sheriff's Office by failing to forward the offense report they are hindering the prosecution and jeapardizing of the defendant's constitutional right to a 'speedy trial.' Perhaps the Sheriff is still investigating the reported offense. Why don't you call the SO and ask?
