It shall be the duty of the members of the county police to serve and execute any and all writs, warrants and subpoenas and other papers issued by the circuit court for the county or the justices of the peace or the trial magistrates for the county, in the exercise of its criminal jurisdiction. No member of the county police shall receive any additional compensation for such services, and the police shall have all of the powers possessed by deputy sheriffs of the state under the general law of the state or the local laws of the county heretofore in existence, insofar as such powers are in reference to the criminal jurisdiction of such deputy sheriffs in making arrests or in any manner enforcing the laws of the state. (Mont. Co. Code 1965, § 18-11; 1939, ch. 730, § 11.)
