Sworn law enforcement officers in Minnesota have authority in their jurisdictions, IE city police in their city, deputy sheriff's in their counties and state troopers anywhere in the state. However, they are still sworn and can act outside of their jurisdictions (Within the state of MN) if conducting official business.
