That really depends on the county and the state and what laws they have passed.
In most counties they typically have a police force funded by the county government.
Some counties have private police forces which are paid by a separate charge directly to the people living in the county.
In counties that do not provide their own police force, the state may watch over the county with an appointed sheriff
If a county is small enough to not need a sheriff or a local police force it may be patrolled by state police instead with only minimal supervision.
There simply is not one set answer to this question as every county and state has the right to decide for itself the type of law enforcement provided, or not provided to a given area.
