Law Enforcement Organisation

Law enforcement organisation is broad term, and while it includes law enforcement agencies, when used typically, is meant to specifically include organisations other than law enforcement agencies.

A law enforcement agency has powers, while other law enforcement organisations do not.

Law enforcement organisations other than law enforcement agencies may be:

  • associations of personnel of law enforcement agencies at certain levels within their organisations
  • law enforcement agency employee unions
  • associations of law enforcement specialists, for example, forensic specialists, weapons and tactical specialists, evidence management and handling practitioners, specialist investigators such as fraud investigators or arson investigators
  • community groups such as neighhbourhood watch groups

Famous quotes containing the words law and/or organisation:

    Our law very often reminds one of those outskirts of cities where you cannot for a long time tell how the streets come to wind about in so capricious and serpent-like a manner. At last it strikes you that they grew up, house by house, on the devious tracks of the old green lanes; and if you follow on to the existing fields, you may often find the change half complete.
    Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organisation upon the natural organisation of the body.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
