1. Application:
Law Enforcement Agencies
Policing and law enforcement responsibilities are carried out by
personnel in a variety of law enforcement agencies at local,
state, and federal levels of government. Depending on the type
of crime committed and where, a particular agency will have the
responsibility, authority, and jurisdiction for solving the crime
and carrying out the law enforcement elements of the criminal
justice process. No matter which agency or level is accountable,
all have responsibility for taking ethical and diversity concerns
into account as they carry out their duties.
Examine the listings of law enforcement agencies and select one
on the federal, state, and local levels.
Compare one similarity and one difference among each agency
that you selected in terms of their responsibilities, jurisdiction,
and authority. Be specific and provide examples.
Explain any insights you gained from doing the comparison.
