| | law enforcement - encyclopedia article about law enforcement. |
| | Small municipalities contract out their law enforcement to the provincial authorities, and all but three provinces in turn contract out their provincial law enforcement responsibilities to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the federal force, which therefore is the only police force to service three distinct levels in the area. | | | Since police are usually the most visible of all law enforcement organisations, they are often accused of not being effective enough in cases where the real blame may lie with the courts or the prosecution authorities. | | | In the United States, there are several levels of policing and law enforcement services, federal police, state police (often called state troopers or highway patrol), special-purpose district police (parks, schools, housing, transit, etc), county police (sheriffs, constables, and some county police agencies), and local police. |

| | Drug-Law Enforcement Efforts |
| | It also highlights the difficult position of drug law enforcement in attempting to enforce the law justly without overstepping constitutional safeguards. | | | Drug enforcement is unlike most other types of police enforcement activities where generally a crime is committed and reported and the police investigate, gathering evidence and making their case. | | | There are two ways American law enforcement agencies have sought to control the supply of illicit drugs: intercepting them as they come into the country, and destroying them at their source in other countries. |
