As well as everywhere else, if it's the same as sheriffs' jurisdiction
in Ohio and Wisconsin. Sometimes there's a 'cops agreement' that only
one agency patrols a certain stretch of road (Milwaukee County Sheriff
handles both Interstates through the county), but this doesn't preclude
others from exercising theirs as well. It just ****es off the guys
they had the agreements with.
