Lines: 9 One point. Local police DO have the jurisdiction to make arrests in federal cases. They must contact the feds and turn the person over to the feds though. The oath they take when they take the job includes local, state, and federal law enforcement responsibilities. Most of them are not aware of the federal laws they are charged to enforce, however, so they don't bother and leave it up to the feds. T. C. Wheeler
