Sheriff Colton Ford

Colton Ford is not a real sheriff. He's a former pornstar turned singer and actor. The production and publicity stills below are from a gay-themed vampire soap called The Lair, which I've never seen.

He looks hot in these shots. Real cops tend not to be this photogenic, but when they are, they're certainly worth watching. I'm not sure if an actual sheriff would wear a goatee like this or leave his shirt half unbuttoned, however.

I've never figured out why Americans have different names for cops. In some areas they're a "sheriff" whilst in others they're "police." In Los Angeles, for example, the city has police but the county has sheriffs. They do the same thing.

Nevertheless, as long as they're hot, who cares what they're called? A hot real cop is a true god.

    The term sheriff is a holdover from medieval England, of German origin, responsible for carrying out judicial orders in a particular district (which came to be known as a shire). "Police" came to England from France, a Latinized Greek word referring to approximately the same as a sheriff, but for a distinctly urban jurisdiction. Not until the Industrial Revolution, however, did police evolve to be as we now know them. To REALLY complicate things (especially for the boys who like to dress up in uniforms), different colonies absorbed into the dominant Anglo culture contributed manners of law and enforcement thereof reflecting their countries of origin, hence, the Napoleonic Code in Louisiana and Castilian in the Southwest claimed by Spain, and gradually absorbed into the US. It all comes down to enough macho drag to fill a damn big party. "Cop" by the way, comes from NY late 19th slang "copper", from the shiny buttons on the first incarnation of the modern uniformed police as we know them today. Some of those uniform queens get VERY historically (or is it histrionically) when it comes to accurately playing dress up -just in case anyone has an outcall for a very particular client!

  4. In the US, Sheriffs work for the county... police is a generalized term that can be used to identify numerous law enforcement jobs

    He's certainly hot, but I believe he would look more authentic without the facial hair. Most para-military police-type organizations forbid it.
