The purpose of this site is to preserve the history of the sheriff in British Columbia.
I am a former sheriff's officer with the County of Vancouver and a collector of sheriff's badges and insignia issued in the Province of British Columbia. As my collecting interest grew, I developed an interest in the history behind the badge. Twenty years later, I have compiled my research into a book outlining the 150-year history surrounding the Office of the Sheriff in British Columbia. The contents of the book include the origins of the Office in England, the history of the position since the establishment of a judicial system in 1856, the function and duties of a sheriff, the badges and uniforms, biographies of each county sheriff in the province during the fee-for-service era (1856-1974), and the British Columbia Sheriff Services today.Click here to purchase the book.
