The question is why have we not changed them. Local Police were all municipal until 1973. Local transit was municipal until 2000. These were not forced by legislation. There have been talks of going regional with fire (It makes so much sense, but I am assuming the huge city budgets allotted to them are part of the reason why change is scary)
