Which officer is specifically named as having cross-state authority according to the material?

• A. Sheriff from adjoining counties
• B. PO from adjoining states
• C. State Police from the neighboring state
• D. Federal Marshal

Answer: (B)

Cross-state enforcement rests on mutual-aid ideas that let officers from one state act in another under specific authority. The material explicitly names a police officer from adjoining states as having cross-state authority, which is why that option is the best fit. This wording shows that authority is tied to a neighboring-state officer who can operate across state lines under the agreed rules, rather than local or state-level actors who stay within their own borders. The sheriff from adjoining counties stays within the same state, and a federal marshal operates under federal jurisdiction with different provisions; the material’s wording points to the neighboring-state police officer as the one designated for cross-border action.
