The Metro Council could give the Sheriff more money and take some from LMPD to shift responsibilities. It would make sense for some of the work to be handled by the Sheriff, like all of the domestic violence cases, MIW's, and serving bench warrants or arrest warrants not tied to an active LMPD felony case.

It is an office, not a department. A department indicates that the sheriff answers to someone else (such as the Mayor) - he is a separate elected official like the County Clerk.
