I'm sure all police are family, and brothers etc. But do some police department get jealous of another department, or is there ever a little competitions going on? Especially when in most county there is one 'best' department, for making a lot of arrests and keeping the streets safer.

A while back, the department that borders our jurisdictioon apparently didn't like us too much, 'cos we arrested one of theirs in a prostitution sting. Caused some bad blood.
We also have a department that thinks its funny we're required to have 4 year college degrees, and get paid more, and because of that we're not hardcore street cops. We stereotype them as ill-educated, alley ride giving thugs...
However, whenever I've worked with them we get on fine.

It isn't really jealousy, more a feeling of rivalry that sometimes develops between officers of different agencies. It generally shows a lack of maturity on the part of the people perpetrating it, and it is frowned upon by supervision.
I've seen it most at the City vs County level.
That being said, each agency strives to do their job at the highest level possible; and yes, we are all one big family.

Aggressive and competitive are traits you want in a law enforcement officer. So, yes, rivalries between departments does occur. Mostly it is limited to good natured kidding, but it can get out of hand if not watched carefully.

YES SHERIFF, STATE, CITY, MUNICIPAL ALL HAVE A JURISDICTION AND HAVE A CRIME SCENE AS THEIR BABY OR A DRUG BUST. THIS WAS IN THE 70-80'S.
IN THE 90'S WE FOUND WE CAN WORK A MULTIPLE TASK FORCE ACROSS THE COUNTY BY JOINING FORCES AND INFORMATION.
MANY SAY 911 COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED IF SO MANY DEPARTMENTS DID NOT HAVE THIS AUTONOMY THING.
