City cops have every responsibility to uphold the law on county property. You are either ill informed or making it up.

Not necessarily...it varies from state to state...

The short answer is that generally a police officer only has jurisdiction within his city limits, but several exceptions apply that might give the officer jurisdiction in a specific case. Also, some states give city police jurisdiction within their county, or even in the entire state.
