I've been impressed with the response I've seen from two incidents in my neighborhood when the WalCo Sheriffs were called.
In one event, we had two guys going door to door pretending to be selling candy for a school project - but actually casing the neighborhood for a little burgling. (He said he was in high school, but he looked about 25 :shock Two sheriff's cars showed up within 5 minutes of when my neighbor called.
In the other, they patiently hung around for about 90 minutes to mediate and resolve a dispute that turned ugly.
Quick response and patience. Both are desired attributes for a police force, in my opinion.
