Of course a Sheriff can arrest! They are Law Enforcement officers, except they typically work for a county (rather than a city). Sheriffs, by the way, are the historically oldest law enforcement type in the US, I believe.

Who delivers a capias in medford mass for non payment of child support order?

A capias does not get "delivered". A capias is a civil warrant of arrest. It can be served by a constable of the city of Medford or by the Sheriff's Office. By "served" this means "compel" the attendance of the defendant at court. The defendant may be contacted by the officer to appear voluntarily or arrested and brought to court if deemed necessary. If served by a constable the constable MUST be sworn in the city of Medford. A constable from another city/ town may not arrest out of his or her sworn jurisdiction in a case relative to "child support" unless appointed by the Probate Court as a "Guardian Ad Lidem". Such appointment would enable the constable to arrest the defendant anywhere in the Commonwealth. Another questionable way constables arrest in other jurisdictions is upon a motion to the court under rule 4 of the M.R.C.P. for appointment as "special process server". This method has been argued for years with no black and white ruling but is still used quite frequently. If you are the plaintiff looking to have one served contact a Medford Constable found through City Hall or the Middlesex Sheriff's Office. If you are a defendant and know you have a capias issued against you, contact the court or an attorney immediately to have it removed or you are subject to arrest. I hope this is helpful and good luck.
