In law, jurisdiction (from the Latin ius, iuris meaning "law" and dicere meaning "to speak") is the practical authority granted to a formally constituted legal body or to a political leader to deal with and make pronouncements on legal matters and, by implication, to administer justice within a defined area of responsibility.

Yes every department has it, it is the area of the city or state of nation, you are allowed to operate in, plus it may be the type or set of laws you are allowed to enforce.
