Which state are you talking about?\n\nThere are some states that don't even have counties. Louisiana has parishes and Alaska has boroughs.\n\nThere are some states in which the "county" does not have any kind of governing entity at all and all "local" power exists at the town level.

county seat n. A town or city that is the administrative center of its county.\n\nhttp://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=county+seat&db=*\n\n"A county seat is an administrative center for a county. In the U.S., New England states (excluding Connecticut and Rhode Island, since they don't have any county governments), and in Canada, the Maritime Provinces, use the term "shire town", although only Vermont uses it officially. In England, Wales and Ireland, the term county town is used. This term is still used colloquially in Scotland and Northern Ireland, but today neither are divided into counties – instead being divided, respectively, into regions and districts. Counties are called "parishes" in Louisiana, and Alaska is divided into "boroughs" (here, meaning a very large district or region of the state). Their seats of county government are called "parish seat" and "borough seat," respectively. The Canadian province of Ontario, in addition to counties, also has territorial districts, regional muncipalities, and at least one metropolitan municipality, which are effectively different types of counties in that they perform county government functions.\n\n"In the United States, as in England and Canada, a county is an administrative division of a state which has no sovereign jurisdiction of its own, so it would not be correct to say that a county seat is equivalent to a capital city since it's just an administrative centre. (See also the article, Counties of the United States.) Counties administer state or provincial law at the local level as part of the decentralisation of state/provincial authority. In many U.S. states, state government is further decentralised by dividing counties into townships, to provide local government services to residents of the county who do not live in incorporated cities or towns."\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_seat

Generally, there are separate police departments that each report to the municipality they represent.  For example, I'm assuming this would mean a county sheriff, and they would report to the county office and possibly the governor's office.  Within the department itself, the ranks are typically like this:\nhttp://faculty.ncwc.edu/toconnor/205/205lect07.htm\n\nThe organization varies by where you are.  Some cities, for example, have police commissioners, while some counties also have deputy sheriffs, etc.

Ancient Athens, for much of its history, had a direct democracy, which however worked much like an oligarchy, because only land-owning male Athenians were full citizens. There was a a small, representative body called a Boule that decided small issues that came up on a day to day basis, but any major issue, such as declarations of war, was put up to a vote of all citizens.

Assuming that you're speaking of government, there is an executive at the head of every geographic subdivision (i.e., country, state, county, city/town/borough).  In the U.S., these are the president, governors, and mayors or city managers.  they essentially manage a huge staff of people whose function it is to oversee the safety, health, education, and social welfare of the people who live in the "subdivision" (called "constituents") and execute all functions that keep these areas appropriately afloat.
