Every state is different. Some states, particularly many southern states, the state patrol was enacted with the interstate highway developement and have jurisdiction on highways. They may also provide criminal investigation assistance at the higher level. Other states such as Michigan had state police long before the interstates and are full-service agencies. In Michigan metro areas, they may concentrate on traffic as there are numerous locals in a mtro area, but still have full authority. In some of these states the Sheriff is mostly for jails, court use and civil process with road patrol as secondary. They play a larger roll as primary in the "state patrol" states. In Michigan, you may get either on a rural 911 call. Troopers nromally are under orders not to get involved in civil process unless the state is the victim. Cities have their own (small cities may not always), although state and county have authority, complaints are left to the local agency. A township may opt for police, and the officer would have authority in a portion of a city that lies within the township. Counties may deputise locals for added security or since some smaller dept's. may have to travel outside their jurisdiction to transport to the jail.
Powers of arrest by the state constitution are described in the definition of a "peace officer" Above are considered "peace officer's" A conservation officer in Michigan is also a full peace officer, and generally only assists temporarily in an urgent criminal or medical emergency. Motor Carrier officers (truck cops) ar NOT peace officers and do NOT have full authority, only in limited commercial applications. A village constable would normally enforce local ordinance, unless fully certified as a peace officer. All full time police in Michigan may carry off duty as well as officers from states with reciprocity. The feds are trying to standardize that.
