""Not in my town you don't.""

—Sheriff talking about Lightning McQueen speeding

Sheriff is a main character in Cars, and a major supporting character in Cars 2 and Cars 3. He is a black and white 1949 Mercury police cruiser. He is the sheriff of Radiator Springs.

Driven by a strong sense of duty to protect the good citizens of Radiator Springs, he makes sure troublemakers steer clear of his town. Anyone who breaks the law will be taken straight to Traffic Court, and Sheriff may even siphon their gas so they can't escape. Straight-talking, hardworking, and honest, Sheriff is from the no-nonsense school of policing, although he also has a much softer side. The fact that there is virtually no lawbreaking in Radiator Springs is proof of his success.

As Sheriff has been around for a number of years, he is not a cop in tip-top condition. These days, he is more likely to take an occasional nap behind the Radiator Springs billboard or a quart of oil from Flo's V8 Café than get involved in car chases.

Cars

"There's a long history of law enforcement in Sheriff's family. His father was a traffic cop. His aunt, his two cousins on his mother's side, his little brother...even his grandfather was a traffic cop, directing traffic at Times Square in New York around the turn of the century. Sheriff always knew he too would be a cop. After all, how many other options did he have with a name like Sheriff?"^[1]

Sheriff is the local law enforcement and the keeper of the peace in Radiator Springs to take his job more seriously. Sheriff enjoys telling stories and taking the occasional nap behind the Radiator Springs billboard. That's where he was when Lightning McQueen first zoomed into town, which led to a car chase in a messy situation that didn't end well. These days, Sheriff welcomes the hotshot racer Lightning home to Radiator Springs with all four tires.

Cars 2

Sheriff reappears in the second film, seeing Lightning and his race crew off to the World Grand Prix. When Mater goes missing, Ramone mentions that Sheriff has Scotland Yard scouring London for Mater. During the climax of the film, Sheriff arrives along with the other Radiator Springs resident as new members of McQueen's pit crew in England, and is informed by Mater of the lemons cars' plot to kill McQueen in order to turn all vehicles in the world against alternate energy and rely on gasoline for profit. Sheriff also partakes in the final melee against the Lemon cars. Then, when everyone went back to Radiator Springs, Sheriff was the pace car for the Radiator Springs Grand Prix.

Cars 3

Sheriff returns with only supporting roles in Cars 3.^[2] He is only seen as a background character in town and also watches Lightning McQueen race at the Florida 500 with Red and Lizzie on the TV from Radiator Springs. He only has one line of dialogue in the film, that being "Good to have you back kid," which can only be heard in the midst of the other cars talking when McQueen announces that he would keep racing.
