The Sheriff must sign as the LEo or his designee if authorized. Should not be a problem.
It is not a permission slip...just a certification it would not violate local/state law.
Required review per SCOTUS or its is discrimination.

A district attorney (maybe even a city attorney) can sign off as well.
I could be wrong, but I think the head of your local state police unit can sign as well since he has authority that equals or surpasses a county sheriffs.
The sign-off requirement is there to verify that you are not prohibited from owning a weapon by someone who has the ability to vet you.
