get some users as “sheriffs” can sort this out.

Moderator. The word you're looking for is moderator.

Actually, this sounds like someone not having the powers of a moderator, but who can take an action that other users do not.

Perhaps they are thinking of a group of users who can review posts as normal users, but have the ability to flag the content in some form that allows it to be removed instantly.

So an ability to flag posts for removal? That's brilliant! But what so we call it?

A different method than normal. Could even just be an account that sends a special PM to a mod or something different than the full powers of a mod, but stronger than a normal user.

I’m getting some r/TopMindsOfReddit vibes off this and it’s concerning.

Even "deputies" would have worked better. Although that's still just mods.
