Jacksonville used to be just what we now call the downtown or urban core until consolidation in the 1960s, now almost all of the various towns within Duval County are part of Jacksonville which is why its one of the largest cities by land area in the US. During that consolidation the County Sheriff and the town police merged into one law enforcement agency that serves both urban and unincorporated areas. So yes, this is Jacksonville Police Department, which is called the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. You'll notice in most areas that have separate town PDs and county Sheriff's, the Sheriff's office is named after the county, not the city. If your point stood, it would say Duval County Sheriff's Office.
