Technically, there is no such thing as a "Cop" in the US, since we have no more "Constables on Patrol". I am an explorer with the sheriff's department, and I can tell you that an officer has jurisdiction over the city, a deputy sheriff has jurisdiction over the county, and a State Trooper has jurisdiction over the state.

Technically there are no more cops...Constables on Patrol.... this is an old term used years ago...
Sheriffs are police that has county jurisdiction(meaning they can go anywhere in the county or city in which they work and has the powere to arrest the county and city)
Police have city jurisdiction(meaning they can go anywhere in the city and has power to arrest only in the city)

None. Cops as you are thinking evidently, serve a city or township area and sheriff's departments serve both the city and rural unincorporated areas. It's just a matter of jurisdiction.

well first cop is a slang word you should say police officer. a police officer works with in the city limits and a sheriff deputy works in the county and of course a state trooper works the state.

A SHERIFF HAS JURISDICTION OVER A WHOLE COUNTY AND A COP ONLY HAS JURISDICTION IN THE CITY. THEREFORE A SHERIFF CAN ARREST A COP HAH!
