Answer:
They both have the same authority the difference is that state law enforcement have no jurisdiction in the home state and local police well only in there city or county back to your question state police have more power but state police try not to interfere with local law enforcement



They have the same authority, but CPD's jurisdiction ends at the city limits. ISP has statewide jurisdiction.
