It really depends on the particular state as to what sheriffs do. In Kentucky the sheriffs are elected by the people within a particular county. Their primary function, under the state constitution is to collect property taxes, serve warrants and act as the enforcement/protection arm of the courts, and to have the constitutional responsibility for law enforcement within that particular county.
With that said, most cities and counties have their own police force which has taken over the law enforcement part of that equation, most but not all. The state police have a state wide law enforcement responsiblity.
As an interesting political tidbit, the only person who can arrest a sheriff in Kentucky (absent a federal warrant) is the county coroner.
