West Virginia
West Virginia's 55 sheriffs are constitutional officers. Each county has a Deputy Sheriff Civil Service Commission under W. Va. Code Art. 7-14, but this is an employment board for deputy hiring and discipline — not a civilian oversight body. No West Virginia county has a civilian body with authority to review the sheriff's conduct toward the public.
