The Office of Sheriff has been in existence since 1066.  Originally appointed by the King, the "SHIRE REEVE" writs and was generally responsible for the capture of  wrong-doers in their respective Shires.  The office evolved and eventually the title was shortened to "Sheriff".  The office was soon adopted by colonial governments.  As the colonies broke from English rule, Sheriffs became elected officials chosen by the people.  Although the Sheriff served as the chief law enforcement officer in the county, t

The Ohio Revised Code adopted the traditional duties of the Sheriff.  Each of Ohio's eighty-eight Sheriffs serves as officers of the court and keepers of the jail.  

The Sheriff is charged with the responsibility of maintaining the public peace and protecting the lives and property of all citizens in Madison County, Ohio. His obligations and responsibilities have continuously grown throughout the years.
