sheriff's office of a contracting agency, except one whose principal
duties are those of a telephone operator, clerk, stenographer,
machinist, mechanic, or otherwise, and whose functions do not clearly
come within the scope of active law enforcement service even though
the employee is subject to occasional call, or is occasionally called
upon, to perform duties within the scope of active law enforcement
service, but not excepting persons employed and qualifying as deputy
sheriffs or equal or higher rank irrespective of the duties to which
they are assigned.
