The police dept. has jurisdiction in the city limits only, if they pull you over out of the city limits and give you a ticket you can beat it. The Sheriff's dept has jursidiction over the whole county including any and all Police departments in that county. The Highway Patrol has jurisdiction over the Shefiff's department.

In many counties, the Sheriff's Office is the provider of primary law enforcement duties.
In jurisdictions which have police departments, the Office of Sheriff provides services to the Courts. (NJ for example is one of those jurisdictions)
Sheriff Deputies are the primary officials who handle all criminal and civil matters within the unincorporated areas of a County. The city Police are the primary officials who handle all criminal and traffic matters within the city limit boundaries of their respective cities

there is not any potential distinction as nicely area jurisdiction. frequently the city police branch patrols interior city limits, mutually as the Sheriffs Dept will patrol areas interior a county, yet outdoors city limits.
