county police
Local law enforcement
County police are law enforcement officers whose jurisdiction covers a county rather than a municipality or state.
In the United States, county police are distinct from sheriff's departments—they're a dedicated police force under county government, while sheriffs are typically elected officials with broader duties including court security and jail operations.
The county police responded to the call since it was outside city limits.
