Should Sheriffs be Party Affiliated?

I had this discussion with a friend during the last election, the recent tragedy and the following rhetoric in Arizona made me think of it again.

What is the benefit of Sheriffs running as Democrats or Republicans? Isn't it their job to simply protect and serve the people of their County? Why should politics play into this? Should Sheriffs be appointed by the County Board where they can be hired on merit instead of who has the most yard signs and radio spots?

Thoughts?
