The sheriff’s office is pretty pointless to be honest and may not conflict with him doing criminal defense work. The entire office should just get rolled into an office under the mayor, there would actually be some accountability as the mayor generally doesn’t want to look bad but a row office elected official doesn’t care as long as the machine bosses are happy.
