English term or phrase: Sheriff's Department

San Diego County Sheriff's Department

What is the difference between the Sheriff's Department and the Police Department? and how we distinguish this difference in the translation into Arabic?

Do I translate it as: دائرة مأمور الشرطة or دائرة شرطة مقاطعة سان دييغو or مديرية أمن مقاطعة سان دييغو . I am a little at loss.

Please provide me with any explanation.

Many thanks

27 mins confidence:

sheriff's department دائرة شرطة مقاطعة

Explanation:
Because most U.S. police agencies have been created and funded by the local communities, and because they were created at different times, there are many variations in how the agencies are organized and financed. In general, city police are funded by the municipality and headed by a police chief, either appointed by the mayor or elected. Counties employ patrolmen and sheriffs, who usually answer to an elected county official.

sheriff's department قسم شرطة المحافظة

Explanation:
The whole county is under the jurisdiction of the sheriff which is higher than the city police and lower than the state police. Some rural areas in the US have no police departments so they fall under the jurisdiction of the sheriff and if there is no sheriff department they are directly under State Police.
