You know how cops, etc. have something before their name? Like Officer so-and-so? Does that go the same for sheriffs? Are they called Officer (Name)?

The title for a Sheriff named John Doe would be "Sheriff Doe". However, only one person in the sheriff's office has been elected "the sheriff". The rest of the officers are "Deputy Sheriffs". You would call them "Deputy Doe". Any law enforcement officer you can call "Officer Doe", including sheriffs and their deputies.

Yes, I work at a Sheriff's Office and they all go by Deputy John Doe
Chief Deputy is call Chief
Sheriff is still just Sheriff, though I have found most of them always have a nickname.

The top county officer is the Sheriff who is an elected official.
His or her employees are referred to as "Deputy" or if they have rank within the organization...by their rank such as Corporal, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain ect.
The assistant to the Sheriff is normally a Chief Deputy and referred to as Chief Deputy or Chief!
