Who is the sherif for west bend?

There isn't a sheriff for West Bend. West Bend is part of Washington County, WI and the County has an elected sheriff. I don't know what his name is but you could find it on their home page. West Bend has its own Police Department, of which I was a member of in the 70's. That department is headed by a Chief of Police. That person is appointed by either the Police & Fire Commission or the City Council and/or City Administrator. That name could be obtained by looking at the WBPD website.
