law enforcer
Keeps order professionally
A law enforcer is someone whose job is to ensure compliance with laws—typically a police officer, sheriff, or federal agent.
The term is slightly more formal or bureaucratic than "cop" or "police officer" and often appears in policy discussions or legal contexts: Law enforcers struggle to balance public safety with civil liberties.
