It means that a particular law enforcement entitity only has power to make arrests in certain defined areas. For example, the federal police are only authorized to make arrests on U.S. Government property and in U.S. Federal buildings.

What Does Exclusive Jurisdiction Mean
2017-01-09 12:45:28 · answer #2 · answered by Anonymous · 0⤊ 0⤋
In the United States, there are two separate and distinct jurisdictions, such being the jurisdiction of the States within their own territorial boundaries and the other being federal jurisdiction. Broadly speaking, state jurisdiction encompasses the legislative power to regulate, control and govern real and personal property, individuals and enterprises within the territorial boundaries of any given State.
In contrast, federal jurisdiction is extremely limited, with the same being exercised only in areas external to state legislative power and territory.

In what context are you referring. In court cases depending on where you live a certain court may have exclusive jurisdiction, or a particular law enforcement agency may have jurisdiction in a matter. Depending on where you live some law enforcement agencies may have joint jurisdiction. \\ For example, the city I live in is in a particular county, so if I were stopped by the police I can be stopped by a sheriff, city P.D. or a state trooper. However, I think that your probably referring to court cases.
