The sheriff is the noble responsible for crude law enforcement until your fortress grows large enough to require a captain of the guard, designated through the nobles screen. They will subdue and imprison lawbreaking dwarves. Without a jail, the sheriff will have no choice but to issue summary justice in the form of beatings. They will still perform justice jobs if drafted to the military.
(When appointing a sheriff, note that having a weak dwarf take the position is sometimes a good thing. A sheriff with good strength, training or a weapon could heavily injure or kill a criminal, which is very bad if said criminal is, say, a legendary dwarf who did nothing wrong, save fail to make the 50 adamantine war hammers a fellow noble demanded.)
When your fortress reaches 50 dwarves, the sheriff's position will disappear and be replaced by the captain of the guard. Should your fortress have a sheriff appointed, they will automatically be promoted to the new position.
