Police usually defined by a city cop, Chief of Police is an oppointed by the mayor. Sheriffs are elected and are in charge of county law enforcement, usually are in charge of posting evictions

Often, the Police Department is part of the city, and the Sheriff's part of the County.

In State the Police are run by the local government (city, town, etc.) and the Sheriff's office is run by the State government
