They share concurrent jurisdiction with municipal and institutional departments, and have primary jurisdiction in towns that have no local police force. ... State police also have sole authority under state law for investigating homicides, except for Boston, Worcester, and Springfield.</i><br /><br />Now, this refers to <i>present</i> law; what the law said in the "Classic Era" 1920s-1930s may have been different. I'd hate to assume the Arkham City Police couldn't be stuck puzzling over mysterious deaths, left to handle them on their own....Ravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974090948640572660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423050459919800481.post-37316186856476097392010-09-10T02:59:44.075-07:002010-09-10T02:59:44.075-07:00Here is the official website of the Essex County S...Here is <a href="http://www.mass.gov/?pageID=sessexhomepage&L=1&L0=Home&sid=Sessex" rel="nofollow">the official website of the Essex County Sheriff's Department</a>, one of the very few officials Essex County still has (along with its District Attorney), since <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essex_County,_Massachusetts" rel="nofollow">most of the County's governmental functions were assumed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1999</a>.<br /><br />Here from flickr is a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/33445721@N04/3535888727/in/set-72157618272846246/" rel="nofollow"> uniform patch</a>, which has the <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Flag_of_Massachusetts.svg/500px-Flag_of_Massachusetts.svg.png" rel="nofollow">Massachusetts arms</a> at the center, rather than the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/Seal-of-Essex-County-MA" rel="nofollow">Essex county seal</a>.
