What are the differences between local, state, and federal law enforcement?
Are there any notable differences in their jurisdiction or authority?
Yes, there are notable differences. Federal law enforcement agencies have jurisdiction over crimes that violate federal laws, such as drug trafficking or bank robbery. State law enforcement agencies, on the other hand, enforce state laws and have jurisdiction throughout the entire state. Local law enforcement agencies have jurisdiction within their particular city or county.
