The Executive High Sheriff is the boss of all the County Sheriffs and along with the County Sheriffs is appointed by the Governor.

Sheriffs in RI do not patrol, but have full police powers. The RI Sheriffs have a K-9 unit and assist the Red Cross with their Search and Rescue Team. The RI Department of Corrections Owns and Operates the State Jails and Prisons.
