“	They would have started earlier, only the delay so plainly annoyed the Shirriff-leader.	”
–The Return of the King, The Scouring of the Shire

Hobbit Shirriff Chiefs are found in taverns and can be distinguished from other Shirriffs by their hat, (which is of a darker hue than that of the others and has a green feather in it) and the silver coin they carry in their hand. From these Hobbits, you can hire shirriffs to fight for you (which is done just like any other unit (see here for more details).

Behaviour

The chief will usually stay inside the building they spawn in, and will seldom go outside. If you have negative alignment with them, they will not attack you, however, if you attack them, they will fight back with an iron dagger.

Hiring

Since you only need a Hobbits alignment of +50 to start hiring shirriffs, they are a good unit to hire early on in the game. Below are listed the hire-able units from a Hobbit shirriff chief, as well as their alignment requirement and cost in silver coins.

Upon hiring a unit from a Hobbit shirriff chief, the player earns the achievement "On Duty"

Unit	Cost (Silver Coins)	Alignment (Hobbits)
Hobbit Shirriff	10-20 ( to )	+50
Mounted Hobbit Shirriff	20-40 ( to )	+100
