Sheriff
Sheriff is both a political and a legal office held under English common law, Scots law or U.S. common law, or the person who holds such office.
Fictional sheriffs
Perhaps the most famous legendary sheriff is the Sheriff of Nottingham of the Robin Hood legends. Many Western movies feature sheriffs of frontier towns who are either corrupt weaklings or glorious heroes who eventually rid their towns of all their mean elements. See Destry Rides Again and Dodge City for two examples of the latter type.
