Sheriff is Radiator Springs' police officer who has been recurring in the Cars Video Game series, he has been playable in every game to date except for the main versions of Cars: Mater-National Championship and Cars 3: Driven to Win.
Cars: The Video Game
In Story Mode, Sheriff competes as an opponent in Sheriff's Chase, Sarge's Off-Road Challenge, and Doc's Check-Up, and the game makes you control him in his minigame, Sheriff's Hot Pursuit. He can also be unlocked as a playable character in Arcade Mode for 8000 points, and has several alternate paint jobs.
Cars: Radiator Springs Adventures
Sheriff is controlled in "Speed Trap" where he must arrest Snot Rod, DJ, Boost, Wingo, and Chick Hicks in that order.
Cars: Mater-National Championship
Sheriff pulls over Otto for going 120 when the limit is 25, and as a result races against him and Lightning. Unlike the previous game, he is only playable in the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS versions of the game, although mods exist that make him playable in the PC version. He appears in North Willy's Butte, Level 3 of Race "N" Chase, and an opposing third car in Team Relay 2. He also appears in the cut scene of Ghosting Mater, where he causes the whole thing to happen.
Cars: Race-O-Rama
Sheriff is playable once again and appears in a few races and is controlled in his minigame "Sheriff's Chase", which is the same thing as Sheriff's Hot Pursuit.
Cars 2: The Video Game
Sheriff appears only in the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions where he, Ramone, Flo, and Chick Hicks can be bought in a $3 DLC pack as playable characters.
Cars: Fast as Lightning
Sheriff is a playable character unlocked after Guido's track is completed. His track is also one of the few that has a special area, having one that involves Wheel Well Motel. Completing his track will unlock Snot Rod.
Cars 3: Driven to Win
Sheriff is not a playable character, and watches the races from behind the walls on some of the Radiator Springs tracks.

Livery
Sheriff is black and white with an old-time siren (a red strobelight and two bell-shaped sirens) and a Radiator Springs Sheriff badge on his doors. He also has three antennae on his trunk. "SHERIFF" can only be seen written on his rear in the Xbox 360 version of Cars: The Video Game and the PC version of Cars: Mater-National Championship.
Personality
Sheriff is usually shown to have bad blood with Lightning after he was first taken to the impound, and he often spends his time with Doc or Flo. He usually will get bossy if someone does not do as he tells them, as he is Radiator Springs' highest authority. He also seems to have a tendency to fall asleep often, although in Radiator Springs Adventures, he claims to just be recharging.
Abilities
Sheriff is fast enough to catch Lightning, and is the only car known to be immune to DJ's soft melodies, which will put listeners to sleep almost instantly. Doc is also shown to have fitted Sheriff with a turbocharger, but he has never been shown to need it. He also may be noted of possessing a radar that can detect any speeding car, no matter how far away.

Trivia
- His only appearance in Race-O-Rama is in the console versions.
- In the PC, PS2, PSP, GameCube, and Xbox versions of Cars: The Video Game and the PS2 version of Mater-National, his license plate reads "SHERIFF", but instead reads "001" in all other appearances.
- The PSP version of Cars: The Video Game is the only game where Sheriff has his siren on when boosting or drafting in races, while in other versions, it only activates in Sheriff's Hot Pursuit.
- In Cars: Mater-National, Sheriff stopped Otto for going over 25 MPH, however, if the player goes over 25 MPH in that same area in exploration mode, Sheriff will not come and stop them.
- Also in Cars: Mater-National, it is unknown as to why Sheriff was not playable in the main versions when he was playable in the DS and GBA versions.
- He also has an unused "Hoo-boy" voice clip, intended for the Team Relay 4 end scene, found in the files of the Wii version, implying he was going to appear there.
- In the Wii version of Cars: Race-O-Rama, Sheriff has weird animations that cause him to always make a strange face with his eyes always wide open. This is because on the Wii, Sheriff's animations were never updated from Cars: The Video Game.
