Digger: Don’t Call Sheriff ‘Top Cop’

Digger: I could care less about this kid. What I care more about is every damn newspaper in the country refers to the county sheriff as the “Top Cop”. Its soooooo boring….I have nothing else to replace it with but it seems so outdated and over-used. (very similar to a 4-day, every day use of the term “dance card” to describe the election races, but I digress…)

Question: So what would you call the sheriff if not "top cop"?
