Provincial sheriff service


 * Not to be confused with the Royal Canadian Sheriff Service, the federal sheriff agency.

11 of the 12 provinces of the Canadian Republic, in addition to a provincial police service, have a sheriff service which handles special police operations, the transportation of prisoners, and many other areas of policing at the provincial level not handled by the provincial police. In the province of Quebec, the functions of both a provincial police and sheriff service are combined into a single service: the Sûreté du Québec (also known by its unofficial English name Quebec Provincial Police).
