I don't see how a county agency would or should take the lead for a municipal agency. Our department provides assistance for smaller municipal agencies when requested or contracted before hand. We'd take the lead if we were asked and we wanted to, but only because we were asked.
The county sheriff's department is in charge of custody and unincorporated areas of the county. Down here we run the courts as we absorbed the marshall's office over a decade a go.
