The Sheriff's Office is the oldest law enforcement agency in Montgomery County having been established in July, 1777. The Maryland Constitution provides that the Sheriff be elected every four years and the Office comes under the Judicial Branch of Government. The Sheriff is therefore a State Constitutional Officer who functions autonomously from the Legislative and Executive branches of government. |
