Local goverment
You must define YOUR meaning of the word "local." (in the US) Starting at the lowest level the progression would be - a Township - a Town - a City - a County. Also - in some counties there may be un-incorporated areas that do not qualify as governmental entities unto themselves, and they would fall under the immediate purview of the County Government. Anything after the County level would be State government.

The local government in charge of the police department typically falls under the jurisdiction of the city or county government. In most cases, the city council or county commission oversees the police department, with the mayor or county executive responsible for appointing the police chief. This structure ensures that local law enforcement aligns with the community's needs and policies. Ultimately, the specific governance can vary based on state and local laws.
Areas within a country have more power to rule themselves than in a different form of government.
Typically there will be a hotline listed in your local phone book. You may be able to find it under County listings in the government section of the phone book. And if all else fails, calling information for your county will get you the local number.
