Most certainly, globally there is some variation due to e differences of local histories. For an example, in Finland you would probably not find just a single "sheriff", but the community as a whole might work in unison to capture perpetrators. Or then, you might find a local magistrate, nimismies. Or there might be a regional unit that used to guard the important buildings and resources in the area and assumed the local police authority, possibly integrating the local police in to their ranks.
