New Hampshire
New Hampshire's 10 counties have constitutional sheriffs whose role
is primarily civil process, court security, and limited patrol in
rural areas (the New Hampshire State Police is the dominant
general-law-enforcement presence). No county in NH has enacted a
civilian review board covering the sheriff.
