They are more likely to get staked and dragged towards the Prince, or witness the Sheriff execute three Shovelheads with no trial or Blood hunt. Since Chronicles often take place in dramatic circumstances. 'Politely' remind the Toreador Ancillae the Prince is controls the police force in this town, and they're off-limits.Д¬ombat is just often what players associate it with. This is not to say Sheriff is a strictly combat position.Д¬ities can go decades without fanfare, where the Sheriff's main job is to stand by the Prince and look scary. As if the position were not dangerous enough, it is hard to make judgements like ' Will the Prince overlook me killing this fledgling to stake his sire? ' While bullets are flying and frenzy is near. Princes are virtually expected to turn a blind eye if bringing in an individual required them to outrun a car with Celerity, then flip it with their bare hands. Even an implicit permission to break the Traditions to do it, if necessary. Since the Sheriff is the one that is sent to 'solve problems', and given a broad authority to do so.

TLDR: Sheriffs get to break the rules, recruit others and have the Prince's full confidence. Killing a Garou is a fool's errand, but they usually stick to the wilds anyway. This is almost never the best option since killing a mage is likely to bring down the hammer from other mages. If those means fail, then he can send the sheriff along with whatever Kindred he can round up to deal with the problem. So, basically, the Prince's job is to try to bring order to things through political means. That ghoul also has an agreement with Prince Marcel to only hunt those who haven't presented themselves, although there is suspicion that he's hunting more than that secretly. The mages are also secretly interfering with Prince Marcel through the former Prince's ghoul (now independent) who is the head of the New Orleans Special Task Force, basically a part of the police department that hunts vampires. Basically, a sort of non-aggression pact.

Prince Marcel also has an uneasy truce with the mages. The mages are keeping the Garou away from these cairns because they're a tidy source of quintessence. They have an uneasy truce with Prince Marcel and an agreement to stay out of the city while Kindred stay out of their territory. The Garou have mostly been pushed away from their Cairns by the expansion of the city over the years. Let's take New Orleans for example since I'm familiar with it. Not a way to structure things in a game that's mostly about social politicking. This is kind of a necessary element when involving cross-splat stories because otherwise there's just an outright war going on with whatever Garou are around. In the few city books I've read, there's usually a presence of the other supernatural creatures, and usually there's some kind of uneasy truce between themselves and the vampires.
