Who has more jurisdiction County Police or State Police?

[Edit]

Answer

It is entirely contingent upon your state. In many U.S. States, all law enforcement officers, municipal, county, and state are vested with the same authority as one another. While a State Officer may find themselves patrolling various parts of the state, it is likely a Sheriff's Deputy with the county has statewide jurisdiction should they find themselves outside their county.
