Jurisdiction (from the Latin ius, iuris meaning "law" and dicere meaning "to speak") is the practical authority granted to a formally constituted legal body or to a political leader to deal with and make pronouncements on legal matters and, by implication, to administer justice within a defined area of responsibility. The term is also used to denote the geographical area or subject-matter to which such authority applies. Jurisdiction draws its substance from public international law, conflict of laws, constitutional law and the powers of the executive and legislative branches of government to allocate resources to best serve the needs of its native society.

Thanks! Asked by Mooncat22e - Thu May 21 21:01:30 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I don't think the police agencies "quarrel" at all. Each police agency has their own specified role. As for jurisdictional control, that depends. For example, if a single crime is committed over two or more jurisdictions in the U.S., then it becomes a federal crime.
