Sherriff badge

[Blr243]

Just heard a chopper , flying low towards my house / hunting shack and slow as if it were going to land in the yard Then it carried on across the paddock and I realised it was inspecting the power lines for damage ( so obviously something to do with the no power complaint we submitted ). I noticed SHERRIF painted on the side .....is that anything to do with police ?. I’m aware that sometimes govt deptartments will sometimes hire equipment from each other. Or is it a name for a type or model of helicopter? Do we even use the name Sherriff in Australia or is it strictly a yank thing ?

Power is bac on. Two mins after I started my lunch fire it came on so out with the hose and bac to civilisation again. I will take this opportunity to charge up both my big 12 volt batteries in the event that it happens again I will b well prepared for another blackout

G'day Blr243,
The Sheriffs Office is a division of the Courts responsible for the enforcement of fines, with the power to seize persons or property in lieu of unpaid fines. It was first established in Australia in 1824, and has been a part of British Justice since the 11th Century (recall The Sheriff of Nottingham). What you saw may have been someone along the lines of Sherriff Electrical Contractors, but I didn't think they were in Qld only Victoria and only did wholesale and retail? Needed a to take a photo of them to see who it was,Cheers.

Thanks number one. Hopefully I can forever keep my nose clean so I can never learn to much mote aboutcsherriffs ... I’ll ask the manager here about the chopper he might b able to shed some light. I have posted a photo here just for you. I’m taking her to a waterhole this afternoon to hopefully shoot a pig. I have 180 grains Speer soft points This rifle given to me by my father and not used in the field since shooting donkeys in Kimberley’s in 1988
