UNDERSHERIFF
Sheriffs are elected; undersheriffs are appointed by the sheriff and serve at that sheriff's pleasure, which in practice means the appointment ends when the sheriff's term does.
That dependence on a single elected official is exactly why the position sits outside the classified service. Sheriff's officers, by contrast, are examined and appear in this database with full specifications.

Undersheriff is a local service title. It is filled by the counties, municipalities, authorities and other employers that have adopted civil service under Title 11A, not by State departments. Those employers set pay by ordinance or contract rather than from a State salary schedule, which is why most local titles carry no salary range here.
