George Mason University is a branch of the University of Virgina. In most states, police departments of the state university's are actually state police officers. In that case their jurisdiction is the entire state. I know this is true in Tennessee.
The officer issuing it should have to sign the ticket they issue, else how would anyone know who issued it. Whether it needs to be counter-signed by the person receiving it is something that varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

It depends upon your state laws. In Massachusetts, for example, any Boston police officer can enforce state laws and city ordinances on any public way, including state roads, federal property, and shopping mall parking lots that are open to the public. Improved Answer and Correct One Boston police officers or no local officer has power on federal ground. That would be a citizens arrest. Which is not wise. The only time a local or Boston police officer has the authority on state ground is when a chase started on local ground and carried on to the states jurisdiction. Now that is just for Massachusetts. Because some do give local police authority on state ground like California. But in Massachusetts the State Police have authority all through out the state including local jurisdiction but not on federal jurisdiction. And generally citations are not given in shopping malls because that is private property, the police only have authority for criminal arrests on private property. Unless otherwise ordered.
For criminal incidents and those of a general policing nature, this area is policed by the Miami-Dade Police Department via the Intracoastal Station. Traffic crashes are investigated by the Florida Highway Patrol due to this area being unincorporated.
It depends on what jurisdiction you are going to work in. Some states require stringent state certified training other states leave the training requirements entirely up to the department.
A city police officer's jurisdiction covers only those streets and areas that are inside of the city limits. Typically, a local police officer cannot legally conduct police business outside of his or her jurisdiction.
In general, city police officers have jurisdiction only within the boundaries of their city. If you are stopped for speeding outside their jurisdiction, they typically do not have authority to issue a citation. However, certain circumstances or agreements between jurisdictions might grant them authority to conduct traffic enforcement outside their city limits. It is advisable to consult local traffic laws or legal professionals for specific cases or jurisdictions.
In most states sworn law enforcement officers (City cops, troopers, deputies etc...) Have state wide police powers and can, in needed, stop a vehicle outside of their jurisdiction.
Yes, they can. However, they generally call the new jurisdiction for backup. They are able to make the arrest outside of their jurisdiction, but it would be normal for them to have an officer within that jurisdiction do the actual booking of the suspect.
City Police only have jurisdiction within the municipality (Pasadena, TX).
They both have the same authority the difference is that state law enforcement have no jurisdiction in the home state and local police well only in there city or county back to your question state police have more power but state police try not to interfere with local law enforcement They have the same authority, but CPD's jurisdiction ends at the city limits. ISP has statewide jurisdiction.
It depends on what department you are referring to. Municipal departments have jurisdiction within their town/city. County Sheriffs and County Police Depts have jurisdiction anywhere within their county, includng the towns and cities. The State Police have jurisdiction anywhere in the state.
Some states have laws that allow police from a different city to arrest someone outside their jurisdiction. Additionally, in most cases, if a warrant has been issued the officer can arrest someone outside of their city.
There are some cases where yes, an officer can make an arrest outside their jurisdiction. One example is a pursuit that goes into another jurisdiction. Another is if the officer has been specifically requested (and is therefore acting as deputy in the new jurisdiction) to carry out the stop and check.
No, city police in Illinois do not have jurisdiction to write speeding tickets on state highways outside of their city limits. State highways fall under the jurisdiction of the Illinois State Police or the relevant county sheriff's department.

Some police do have jurisdiction on a dock. It technically depends on the specific area they are told to patrol. If the police officer is told to patrol the dock and it is in his jurisdiction, then he surely is in control of that area.
