enforcement officers
Law's human arm
Enforcement officers are officials authorized to ensure compliance with laws, regulations, or rules.
The term covers police officers, but also those with narrower mandates: parking enforcement officers, immigration enforcement officers, code enforcement officers.
Enforcement officers ticketed dozens of cars during the street sweeping.
The phrase emphasizes the compliance function rather than broader public safety duties.
