3. Eviction and repossession: Sheriff officers can carry out eviction orders or orders for repossession of property, including changing locks and removing belongings.

4. Arrest and imprisonment: In certain circumstances, sheriff officers can arrest individuals who have failed to comply with court orders, such as those related to debt recovery or eviction.

5. Seizure of vehicles: Sheriff officers can seize vehicles, such as cars or vans, to enforce court orders or to recover debts owed.
