The cities of Silver Spring, Maryland and Bethesda, Maryland don't have police departments. The city is policed by the Montgomery County Police Department.
If a city doesn't have its own police department, the county police and/or state police have jurisdiction to provide police services.

There are a lot. Smaller cities that do not have enough money to support it's own police department will contract with the sheriff's department.

several years ago and gave the duties to the County Sheriffs dept.
