Ancestor Hunt is a free genealogy search website with many unique informational searches. There is a section called Past Sheriffs of the US and one called Police officers of the past. If you have ancestor's that were part of law enforcement this site can give you insight on the history of a variety of police stations. There are also many names and pictures that are quite interesting.
Another interesting search you can make is for genealogical prison records. If you have a black sheep in the family you just might get to know them a little better. There is information on prisons such as Folsom, Alcatraz, Yuma Territorial, plus much much more.
Photographs, lists of executions and prison census records are just some of the listed prison record searches . This website is absolutely fascinating, informational and free.
Even if you don't have a black sheep jail-bird in the family tree or a Sheriff who helped tame the wild west you can't help searching the information on this website. Check it out at: http://www.ancestorhunt.com/past-sheriffs.htm
