I was reading that the Fairfax County Sheriff has jurisdiction through Fairfax to include all the cities with their own police departments. Does Fairfax County Police also have the same jurisdiction?

No, the police dept only has jurisdiction in un-incorporated areas of the county. The towns and city in the county have there own forces
The county PD does have jurisdiction in the towns (Herndon & Vienna) eventhough they do have their own PD. Fairfax Co PD does not have jurisdiction in Fairfax City though.
