In political science, POWER is the ability to control events.

AUTHORITY is the source of that power. Some examples:

In the US, the Congress has the POWER to enact laws, based on the AUTHORITY of the US Constitution.

In a military Dictatorship, the ruling military command has the POWER to run the country, but may lack popular or legal AUTHORITY to do so.

How does authority and power relate?

Authority can use either law or power depending on the circumstances. An authority who uses power outrageously is not acting properly. On this question, when the word "authority" is mentioned along with "power" I assume that "authority" is related to the police affairs. But authority is also related to any person who works in any other governamental department. In this case, power differs from that kind of power used to maintain order in society issues.
