Staff

 * Emma Swan: Emma Swan is the sheriff of Storybrooke. She was named sheriff after beating Sidney in the election. She does physical sheriff work, such as visiting crime scenes and searching for people, as well as talking to suspects and asking questions.
 * Graham Humbert: Graham was the former sheriff who personally chose Emma as his deputy's sheriff. Later, after his untimely death, Emma succeeds him as sheriff after running for an election, in which the townspeople vote for her to take his place.
 * Ruby: She held a temporary position as an office assistant answering phones, did paperwork and fetched lunch, but resigned after a traumatic experience of unearthing a human heart.
 * David Nolan: Stepped in as sheriff in shortly after Emma was sent to the Enchanted Forest. He stated that it is only a temporary position, and that as soon as Emma returns, the job will be hers again. Currently, David has since resumed sheriff duties alongside Emma.

Criminals/Suspects Held

 * Emma Swan: She was taken into one of the holding cells after she crashed into the "Storybrooke" Sign and was knocked unconscious. She was released quickly, under the condition she would help Regina Mills find Henry.
 * Leroy: He was held for a short time in the cell next to Emma's. He was released a few minutes before Emma was. It was hinted by Marco that he was a common occupant, but is never seen in jail again.
 * Mr. Gold: He was held in a cell after Emma arrests him on charges of physical assault against Moe French. Later, in a deal with Regina, she helps get the charges dropped.
 * Mary Margaret Blanchard: She was held for several days after her fingerprints were found on the box containing Kathryn's heart. After finding a key in her cell, Mary Margaret escapes to avoid going to trial for a crime she didn't commit. Emma manages to track her down and convince her to return. Once Kathryn is found alive and unharmed, the charges against Mary Margaret are dropped and she goes home.
 * Regina Mills: Briefly held after the curse was ended for "her own safety", but was attacked by the Wraith and was released to help get rid of it. She is also brought in for questioning when she is suspected of murdering Archie Hopper.
 * Ruby: Briefly held because she was a suspect for Billy's murder, but was transported to the town library to keep her safe from the angry townspeople demanding justice.
 * Felix: Briefly held in order to keep Henry safe.
 * Zelena: Briefly held after trying to go back in time to change the past and attempting to kill the townspeople. Out for blood, Mr. Gold visits Zelena and kills her out of vengeance for his son's death.
 * Will Scarlet: Held for breaking into the library, but escapes from his cell shortly after.
 * Ingrid: Brought in for questioning on Anna's whereabouts and Emma's past, but escapes when Emma's magic spins out of control and explodes a wall.
