What is the difference between a sheriff and police department? Do they govern different things and have completely separate powers? Does one have more jurisdiction over another and what happens when it comes to committing a criminal offence?

You have gotten a lot of good answers. Each state has different, but usually similar laws. In my state, the sheriff, in addition to county wide law enforcement, is also responsible for collecting taxes on property. The check for the taxes is actually written to the sheriff…it seems wrong somehow.
