In most states a police officer is certified by the state and is therefore empowered to enforce the law throughout the state. You did not specify the state in question so a specific answer isn't possible but it's unlikely he would have wasted his time and put himself at risk for a civil rights lawsuit if he did not have the authority to ticket you.

Is it possible to get out of a speeding ticket if you already admitted guilt to the officer - in Dupage County Illinois?

Generally, if you got a speeding ticket, you're not going to get out of it. If you admitted guilt to the officer, you're almost guaranteed not to get out of it. If you go to court, and the officer shows up (if he doesn't, you may get out of it, but that's not guaranteed) and says "he admitted that he was speeding", you're toast. Short story, pay the ticket and don't speed next time :)
