Chief law enforcement officer of the county?

Answer 1

This can be argued since the introduction of the F.B.I. The F.B.I. was introduced around (1908) to deal with national crime as a national police force (per se), the problem is that the U.S. Marshals existed by Congressional action in 1789 and has served in that position for far longer and with the same goals (a lot of argument still exists over these issues).

Depending on which side of this debate your on, then: John Clark, director of the United States Marshal's service or Robert S. Mueller, III, director of the F.B.I.
