No matter who does the arrests, City Cops, State Police, Sheriff's office, all cases are tried at the County Courthouse, prosecuted by the County District Attorney's Office in front one of the three County Judges. Those awaiting trial are held in the County Jail, as are all convicts whose sentences are less that 1 year. Anyone sentenced to more than 1 year are sent off to State Prison, outside of the county. The only exceptions are if someone is arrested by federal authorities and charged with federal crimes, in which case they are sent to the federal courts in Pittsburgh.

The City of Molesburg Police Department (CMPD) is headed by the Chief of Police, who is appointed by the Mayor. It has jurisdiction only within city limits, or limited hot pursuit circumstances.

The Westspire County Sheriff's Office is led by the County Sheriff who is elected by the people of the county at large. The Sheriff and his deputies are responsible for the County Jail, Courthouse Security, and serving court issued warrants, but do not undertake patrols. There is a team of County Detectives who do investigations for the District Attorney, but are technically part of the Sheriff's Office.

The State Police have a barracks at Finley. They are responsible for criminal complaints in the county outside of city limits. They technically have jurisdiction inside the city too but rarely get involved inside the city. They also routinely patrol the Pittsburgh Pike and the Johnstown Road.
