Assignment 3: The Multilayered and Decentralized System of
US Law Enforcement
Many critics believe that federal law enforcement has
encroached into the realm of local and state police
responsibilities, particularly with regard to street crimes
involving drugs, guns, and gangs. At the same time, some
critics have argued for a more robust role for local law
enforcement in combating terrorism and fighting illegal
immigration—two areas historically thought to be the exclusive
responsibility of the federal government.
On the basis of the assigned readings for this module, including
the majority and minority opinions in
U.S. v. Lopez
(1995), and in light of your own views on government police
power, write a 3- to 5-page essay addressing the following:
Differentiate the duties of federal, state, county and city law
enforcement agencies.
Examine whether there are any particular law enforcement
duties that should exclusively belong to federal law
enforcement or the local police. Justify the reason for your
choice.
Explain whether we should continue with the multiple layers of
police agencies, some as small as a single officer, or whether
there should be fewer agencies, like a regional police agency
and a national police agency, to handle all aspects of law
enforcement in the United States. Justify your answer with
examples, showing why one approach is better than the other.
Be sure to support your positions with in-text citations and
include a reference page in APA style.
Conduct an internet search of government and career sites (e.g.
bls.gov, jobs.com, monster.com, etc) to locate recent
information on the career prospects for Federal Law
Enforcement Officers in your geographic location. Present your
findings, including related job titles, potential employers, a
summary of this job function, the education and experience
required to qualify for this position, and the average salary one
could expect to earn.
