What is the difference between a Police Officer and a Sheriff Deputy?
Sheriffs Deputies perform the same duties as Police Officers. Sheriff Deputies primarily serve the citizens of unincorporated Jackson County. Police Officers primarily serve the citizens of incorporated cities. However, the authority of the Sheriff and his Deputies to enforce State Laws, including State Traffic Laws, extends across the entire county.
