All levels of government require law enforcement professionals. Federal authorities enforce federal laws, whereas state agencies enforce state and federal laws, and local agencies are responsible for enforcing federal, state, and local laws. Police officers protect the public by investigating crimes and apprehending criminals. They may go by different designations, such as officer or investigator agent.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is the primary law enforcement agency of the federal government (FBI). The Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, the Border Patrol, the Federal Air Marshals, and the Secret Service are other federal law enforcement agencies. Other government agencies, such as the US Postal Service and the US Forest Service, employ law enforcement officers, although their primary missions are not law enforcement.

State police agencies work within the confines of their own states. Like the federal government, state agencies conduct non-law enforcement functions but may also employ sworn officers. State universities have police departments with jurisdiction over the campus and help local police forces in cases and occurrences.

Cities, counties, school systems, and community institutions employ local police officers. Because most people associate police officers with routine traffic stops, local police officers are what most people envision when they hear the phrase police officer.

Being a police officer is a risky job, but it can also be tremendously rewarding. Every day, officers make their jurisdictions safer. Many crimes can be avoided simply by police officers making their presence known. When a crime occurs, police officers are the first responders, assessing the scene, reducing any residual threat, securing evidence, and assisting victims and witnesses.

Alec Baldwin interrogated by police after Rust shooting

Law enforcement officials released a trove of video evidence Monday in the ongoing investigation into actor and producer Alec Baldwin's fatal shooting of a cinematographer on a Western film set in October. Lapel camera recordings taken by a commanding officer as he arrives at a film-set ranch where medics are tending to the wounded, with an evacuation helicopter whirring overhead, were released by the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office. The armorer for the movie production breaks down in tears while looking for the gun. Other videos show investigators debriefing Baldwin within hours of the fatal shooting, talking with him inside a small office, and rehearsal clips of Baldwin in costume practicing a quick-draw gun maneuver. "I'm the person who had the gun in the scene," Baldwin says to a deputy working to tape off the scene in one video. Sheriff Adan Mendoza of Santa Fe County said that his agency's investigation is still open and ongoing as it awaits the FBI...
