Police Influence on Society

Introduction

The police authorities in the U.S. are not only the "real police", but rather is all that can be subsumed under any prosecution authority, under the name "Law Enforcement "(translated sternly law enforcement) are combined. It depends on what "power" of their authority was granted. If you wanted to capture all equipped with law enforcement authorities in the U.S., it would fill volumes (as it exists in the States).

Discussion

1st Federal Police / State Police

Among the federal agencies include, for example (here a small selection): FBI, U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Immigration, U.S. Border Patrol, U.S. Coast Guard, CIA, CID (= part of the military police), Military Police, U.S. Air Force Security Police Dept.. of the Mint Police, U.S. Capitol Police, U.S. Congress Police Dept. of Defense Police, U.S. Park Police, U.S. Park Ranger, U.S. Postal Police and U.S. Customs (McCoy, 2009).

3rd Marshals

Although more and more disappear Marshal Department, the Sheriff's Department because the tasks are transferred (eg California) - they're still in great numbers (Kappeler & Gaines, 2012).
