3. Law Enforcing Agencies
A law enforcement agency (LEA) is any government
agency responsible for the enforcement of the laws.
LEAs which have their ability to apply their powers
restricted in some way are said to operate within
a jurisdiction. LEAs will have some form of geographic
restriction on their ability to apply their powers. The
LEA might be able to apply its powers within a country.

5. The Roles and Responsibilities of Law Enforcing Agencies
LEAs can be responsible for the enforcement of laws affecting the behavior
of people or the general community.
o Religious law enforcement: A LEA can be responsible for
enforcing secular law or religious law. The significant majority of LEAs
around the world are secular, their governing bodies separating religious
matters from the governance of their subjects. Religious law enforcement
agencies, for example Saudi Arabia’s Mutaween, exist where full
separation of government and religious doctrine has not occurred, and
are generally referred to as police agencies, typically religious police,
because their primary responsibility is for social order within their
jurisdiction and the relevant social order being highly codified as laws.
o Internal affairs: Often, a LEA will have a specific internal unit to ensure
that the LEA is complying with relevant laws. In some countries or
divisions within countries, specialized or separate LEAs are established to
ensure that other LEAs comply with laws.

6. o Police agencies: Many law enforcement agencies are police agencies that have
a broad range powers and responsibilities. A police agency, however, also often
has a range of responsibilities not specifically related to law enforcement.
These responsibilities relate to social order and public safety. While this
understanding of policing, being more encompassing than just law enforcement
has grown with and is commonly understood by society, it is recognized
formally by scholars and academics. A police agency's jurisdiction for social
order and public safety will normally be the same as its jurisdiction for law
enforcement.
o Military law enforcement
• Military organizations often have law enforcement units. These units within
armed forces are generally referred to as military police.This may refer to:
• a section of the military solely responsible for policing the armed forces
• a separate section of the armed forces responsible for policing in the armed
forces and in the ministry of defense
• a section of the military solely responsible for policing the civilian population

7. Other responsibilities of LEAs are typically related to assisting subjects to avoid
non compliance with a law, assisting subjects to remain safe and secure, and
assisting subjects after a safety impacting event. For example:
• Policing

behavior

8. The role of the police
The primary role of the police is to enforce the law. The first contact victims
have with the police usually happens when they call for help or make a
complaint. Complaints, or calls for service, usually result in an incident

enough evidence to lay a charge.
