    We have both, technically all 4.

    Police are often city, not always but often. (Cities like Kansas City had their police captured by the state and no one likes it)

    Sheriff’s are county

    Highway patrol/state troopers are state

    The three letter agencies are all federal.

    Due to unique internal limited sovereignity there is some overlap between all of them but generally speaking that’s how it works.
