Definition: In law enforcement, a subsheriff is a subordinate or junior officer within the rank of sheriff. They are responsible for supervising and monitoring the activities of other sheriffs within their jurisdiction, often in the field or as an assistant to the sheriff. Subsheriffs may have additional responsibilities such as assisting with investigations, conducting traffic inspections, or providing security at events.
