[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lasseter John Lasseter] has said that the idea for ''Cars'' was born after he took a cross-country road trip with his wife and children in 2000. When he returned to the studio after vacation, he contacted [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Wallis Michael Wallis], a Route 66 historian. Wallis then led eleven Pixar animators in rented white Cadillacs on two different road trips across the route to research the film.

[[File:SheriffCarsHeapofTrouble.jpg|thumb|Sheriff glared furiously at Lightning after the big chase.]]In ''[[Cars]]'', while [[Lightning McQueen]] is speeding down [[Interstate 40]] in search of help after being separated from his hauler, McQueen speeds past Sheriff, who is sleeping by the sign between Radiator Springs and [[Ornament Valley]]. Sheriff takes pursuit of McQueen, but starts backfiring due to metal fatigue and driving at such high velocities. McQueen initially thinks that Sheriff can help him, but when the latter backfires, mistakes the sound for gunshots (as Sheriff is never armed in the entire series) and begins panicking, attempting to evade Sheriff. McQueen barrels through Radiator Springs, knocking over the statue of the town's deceased founder, [[Stanley]]. McQueen proceeds to accidentally pull the statue through the main road, ripping it up. The pursuit ends when McQueen is stopped by a telephone wire, allowing Sheriff to catch up.

In ''[[Cars]]'', while [[Lightning McQueen]] is speeding down what he thinks is [[Interstate 40]] (but is actually [[Route 66]]) in search of help after being separated from his [[Mack|hauler]], McQueen speeds past Sheriff, who is sleeping by the sign between Radiator Springs and [[Ornament Valley]]. Sheriff takes pursuit of McQueen, but starts backfiring due to metal fatigue and driving at such high velocities. McQueen initially thinks that Sheriff can help him, but when the latter backfires, he mistakes the sound for gunshots (as Sheriff is never armed in the entire series) and begins panicking, attempting to evade Sheriff.

The pursuit ends when McQueen is stopped by a telephone wire, allowing Sheriff to catch up.


In the morning, McQueen awakens in the [[Radiator Springs Municipal Impound]], where he meets [[Tow Mater]]. McQueen is close to tricking Mater into releasing him, but Sheriff arrives and scolds Mater for attempting to befriend the prisoner. Sheriff then takes McQueen to the [[Radiator Springs Courthouse & Fire Department|courthouse]], where he is put on argument. McQueen is sentenced to community service, having to re-pave the entire main road before he is allowed to leave.

[[File:SheriffCars5.jpg|thumb|220px|Sheriff and Sally await McQueen.]]Before McQueen is hooked up to [[Bessie]], the road-paving machine, Mater removes McQueen's parking boot, and Lightning attempts to escape by speeding towards Tailfin Pass. However, McQueen doesn't make it far before running out of gas, and comes to a halt next to a sign, where Sheriff and [[Sally Carrera]] are waiting. They explain that they lowered his gas while he was asleep, and McQueen is returned back to the town.

After a poor and rushed attempt at fixing the road, [[Doc Hudson]] challenges McQueen to a race around [[Willy's Butte]] to determine McQueen's fate; if McQueen wins, he can leave, but if Doc wins, he rips up the road and starts over. Before the race, Sheriff informs the two contestants of the rules, and then moves over to watch the race. Doc wins, and McQueen rips up the asphalt and restarts the project.

When McQueen finally finishes the road, the townsfolk awake to find McQueen gone. As they reflect on McQueen's stay, Sheriff begins to cry, but when the others take notice of this, he claims that he's happy, not sad. However, McQueen arrives and greets them, and requests that they help fix him up before he heads off to his big race in [[Los Angeles]]. That night, while everyone is enjoying a cruise night, a hoard of press and [[Piston Cup Racing Series|Piston Cup]] officials arrive and take McQueen away, against his wishes.

[[File:SheriffCarsGame.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Sheriff in ''Cars: The Video Game''.]]In ''[[Cars: The Video Game]]'', Sheriff is introduced in the story's third chapter. In [[Sheriff's Chase]], McQueen drives up to Sheriff one night, and challenges him to a "rematch", treating their very first encounter as if it was a race. Sheriff accepts the offer, as Doc has just fitted him with a turbo charger. They also make a playful bet; if Sheriff wins, McQueen will be thrown in the impound lot, but not if McQueen wins. Lightning wins the race, and jokingly mocks Sheriff about doing donuts, as Lightning references the common sterotype of cops enjoying donuts. Unimpressed, Sheriff sends McQueen away, or he will be sentenced to pick up trash on the highway.

Sheriff, Cars

Sheriff is a police officer serving in Carburetor County, United States and stationing in Radiator Springs.

Creation and development

John Lasseter has said that the idea for Cars was born after he took a cross-country road trip with his wife and children in 2000. When he returned to the studio after vacation, he contacted Michael Wallis, a Route 66 historian. Wallis then led eleven Pixar animators in rented white Cadillacs on two different road trips across the route to research the film.

The character Sheriff is based on a classic police car, which Wallis voiced.

History

Cars

Sheriff glares furiously at Lightning after their big chase.

In Cars, while Lightning McQueen is speeding down what he thinks is Interstate 40 (but is actually Route 66) in search of help after being separated from his hauler, McQueen speeds past Sheriff, who is sleeping by the sign between Radiator Springs and Ornament Valley. Sheriff takes pursuit of McQueen, but starts backfiring due to metal fatigue and driving at such high velocities. McQueen initially thinks that Sheriff can help him, but when the latter backfires, he mistakes the sound for gunshots (as Sheriff is never armed in the entire series) and begins panicking, attempting to evade Sheriff. McQueen barrels through Radiator Springs, knocking over the statue of the town's deceased founder, Stanley. McQueen proceeds to accidentally pull the statue through the main road, ripping it up. The pursuit ends when McQueen is stopped by a telephone wire, allowing Sheriff to catch up.

In the morning, McQueen awakens in the Radiator Springs Municipal Impound, where he meets Mater. McQueen is close to tricking Mater into releasing him, but Sheriff arrives and scolds Mater for attempting to befriend the prisoner. Sheriff then takes McQueen to the courthouse, where he gets into an argument. McQueen is sentenced to community service, having to re-pave the entire main road before he is allowed to leave.

Sheriff and Sally await McQueen.

Before McQueen is hooked up to Bessie, the road-paving machine, Mater removes McQueen's parking boot, and Lightning attempts to escape by speeding towards Ornament Valley. However, McQueen does not make it far before running out of gas, and comes to a halt next to a sign, where Sheriff and Sally are waiting. They explain that they lowered his gas while he was asleep, and McQueen is returned back to the town.

After a poor and rushed attempt at fixing the road, Doc Hudson challenges McQueen to a race around Willy's Butte to determine McQueen's fate; if McQueen wins, he can leave, but if Doc wins, he rips up the road and starts over. Before the race, Sheriff informs the two contestants of the rules, and then moves over to watch the race. Doc wins, and McQueen rips up the asphalt and restarts the project.

Sheriff hanging out at Flo's with Fillmore and Sarge.

Throughout McQueen's sentence, Sheriff mostly hangs around Flo's V8 Café, chatting with the other residents, while also keeping a close eye on McQueen. One night, Sheriff puts Mater in charge of watching McQueen, and Mater agrees to do so. However, Mater and McQueen sneak off to go tractor tipping, and become friends.

When McQueen finally finishes the road, the townsfolk awake to find McQueen gone. As they reflect on McQueen's stay, Sheriff begins to cry, but when the others take notice of this, he claims that he is happy, not sad. However, McQueen arrives and greets them, and requests that they help fix him up before he heads off to his big race in Los Angeles. That night, while everyone is enjoying a cruise night, a hoard of press and Piston Cup officials arrive and take McQueen away, against his wishes.

At the race, McQueen finds himself missing his new friends, as he has only Mack as a pit crew member. However, while McQueen is taking practice laps, he finds that the Radiator Springs townsfolk have come to serve as his pit crew. Sheriff and the others help McQueen throughout the race.

During the film's epilogue sequence, Sheriff is again sleeping by his sign when DJ, Boost, Wingo, and Snot Rod, who were responsible for McQueen's separation from Mack, speed by him. Sheriff arrests them for speeding, and they are later sentenced to pull Bessie to pave the side road between Ramone's House of Body Art and Flo's V8 Café.

Cars: The Videogame

Sheriff in Cars: The Videogame.

In Cars: The Videogame, Sheriff is introduced in the story's third chapter. In Sheriff's Chase, McQueen drives up to Sheriff one night, and challenges him to a "rematch", treating their very first encounter as if it was a race. Sheriff accepts the offer, as Doc has just fitted him with a turbo charger. They also make a playful bet; if Sheriff wins, McQueen will be thrown in the impound lot, but not if McQueen wins. Lightning wins the race, and jokingly mocks Sheriff about doing donuts, as Lightning references the common stereotype of cops enjoying donuts. Unimpressed, Sheriff sends McQueen away, or he will be sentenced to pick up trash on the highway.

Completing Sheriff's Chase will unlock Sheriff's Hot Pursuit, a five-level minigame in which Sheriff must chase down speeders. This is the only time in the story mode in which players can play as Sheriff.

Towards the end of the story's fourth chapter, Sheriff receives a call from Mack, who was robbed on the Interstate by the Delinquent Road Hazards. McQueen is furious when Sheriff informs him, and speeds off to steal his supplies back. The delinquents are caught and thrown into the impound. Sheriff and McQueen question them, and they reveal they were hired by Chick Hicks, a racing rival of McQueen.

Sheriff is also an unlockable playable character for Arcade and VS modes. He can be purchased for 8,000 Bonus Points in Ramone's House of Body Art. He has high speed and stability stats, but low acceleration and handling.

Cars: Radiator Springs Adventures

In Cars: Radiator Springs Adventures, the player controls Sheriff in the minigame Speed Trap, as he chases DJ, Snot Rod, Wingo, Boost, and Chick Hicks on the Interstate.

Sheriff is also one of the customers that the player must serve in the Fill 'Er Up minigame.

Sheriff tells the story of the Ghostlight.

In Mater and the Ghostlight, Sheriff tells the story of a mythical vehicle called the Ghostlight, scaring the rest of the town, especially Mater. Deciding to pull a practical joke, he and the other townspeople place a lamp on Mater's tow hook, scaring him all the way around Carburetor County.

Cars: Mater-National Championship

In Cars: Mater-National Championship, he appears with Otto, as he was speeding. Lightning makes sure that Otto stays out of trouble by racing him, along with Sheriff. Sheriff later appears overhearing Lightning sending Otto to see Lizzie, saying that will keep him busy. He then later appears when Mater spots a tractor and is about to tip it, but gets interrupted by Sheriff. Mater says that he is sorry, then Sheriff says that he does not want Mater to go tractor tipping again, and then he reminds Mater of the Ghostlight, which when Mater is not looking, Sheriff puts the blue lantern on Mater's hook. Sheriff also appears in Team Relay 2 on a team with Fillmore and Sarge as well as an opposing chaser in the third level of Doc and the Law's Race 'n' Chase. Unlike in the previous game, he is only playable in the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS versions of the game.

General information

Physical description

The Mercury logo on Sheriff's hood.

Sheriff is a 1949 Mercury Police Cruiser that is painted black and white, with the Radiator Springs Police Department badge on both of his doors. He has a siren on his roof.

His license plate reads 001, except in Cars: The Videogame, where it reads SHERIFF. Sheriff often plays the role of the "voice of reason" to Radiator Springs, and acts as a boss towards the multiple Radiator Springs residents and visitors. He is portrayed as a fatherly figure to Mater, as he is always keeping an eye on him and watching his behavior.

In The Radiator Springs 500½, he has his hood temporarily painted white for the anniversary of the town's founding, as well as a big, gold star on his doors and the inscription "SHERIFF" on his fenders. His siren is also replaced with a more old-fashioned one, and his roof's speakers are moved to his fenders.

Personality and traits

Sheriff chases after Boost, Wingo, and DJ.

Sheriff is easily angered, and quick to threaten someone if they step out of line, as he is the head of the local law enforcement in town, making sure everything is in order. However, he does have fun with his job, chasing speeders and fighting crime.

Powers and abilities

Sheriff is incredibly fast and can easily catch speeders that come racing through town, though he may have trouble accelerating. He is also very stable, as evidenced in Cars: The Videogame, where he has the highest stability stats in the game.

Relationships

Sheriff speaks with caution to most of his friends and acquaintances, but overall keeps a calm personality with most of the residents throughout Carburetor County. He is good friends with Lightning McQueen, even though the two initially had bad blood due to Sheriff chasing McQueen down, which led to him tearing the road up.

Sheriff has been shown to have bad chemistry with characters such as Boost, Snot Rod, Wingo and DJ, four delinquents that are always wreaking havoc throughout Radiator Springs, and as such, they have been arrested multiple times.
