In Kentucky, from what I know in my limited experience with the law, Sheriff's serve warrants, eviction notices, protect the courthouses, and do general police duties in un-incorporated areas of the counties. Locals handle issues with-in their town/city. State Police handle major crime, state and interstate highway patrol.
It's been explained to me that State Police and Game Warden Officers have almost unlimited jurisdiction. County Officers are supposed to limit activity to their own county, while locals are supposed to remain in their locality. All the while, they ALL have a duty to enforce the laws if they happen upon a crime being commited OR know of a fellow officer needing their assistance outside of their jurisdiction. In some areas, we have constables still, who are there to ALSO serve summons, eveiction papers, and court issued papers.
DOT Officers in Kentucky are part of the State Police.
Federal Marshalls handle cases where interstate crime, federal laws, and issues with US Mail are concerned.
FBI is for capital crime, bank robbery, and kidnapping/murder.
ATF is "the revenuer". Any crimes commited with regard to federally taxed and controled substances or materials. (Liquor, guns and tobacco)
In any event, I have the highest regard and the utmost respect for ALL who wear a badge. They have a tough job with low pay, bad hours, and hostile conditions. I might not always agree with the way a few choose to enforce the laws, but I sure wouldn't want to do without them.

The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve.
