The deputy's car - B2

The sheriff in the United States descends from a one-thousand-year-old English tradition: a "shire-reeve" (shire-keeper: keeper of a county). These people were appointed by the English crown when it established the newly settled American territories. Sheriffs were among the first elected public officials in an area and thus developed a leading role in local law enforcement.

While the sheriff is appointed in some counties, he or she is elected to the position by the county's voters in most jurisdictions to serve a four-year term as the chief enforcement officer of such county, enforcing local, state and national laws within his jurisdiction. Ordinarily, a sheriff also has charge of the jail of his county and of the care of its courthouse.

Chosen by the elected sheriff, deputies are the sheriff's number twos, and as such, are tasked with the same police duties in their jurisdiction.

An auction is a public sale at which items are sold one by one, each going to the person offering the last and highest price.

In 2015, a 20-year old man from Colorado, whose dad had died in the line of duty, raised money to try to acquire his police patrol car. Unfortunately, the bidding went far higher than he could afford. However, he had a very pleasant surprise. Watch this video to see what happened.
