In this paper, you will learn about the different functions of local, state, and federal policing.

Identify local, state, and federal policing
There are all different types of law enforcement agencies. They range from your local, sometimes very small, city or county police departments all the way to you more advanced and sometimes very large federal agencies. All of these agencies offer various career paths to anyone interested in law enforcement. Employment in any of these agencies will depend on many different factors. You have to really determine if your area has a big enough agency to offer maximum employment prospects. The type of agency you’re dealing with also plays a major part. Each agency, whether its local, state, or federal all have their own mission so that could play a part in a person’s job search in that particular area. My experiences have proven that the bigger the agency and/or the jurisdiction, the better your employment chances are. Most of these agencies have very low turnover. The people don’t leave unless they are fired, transferred, or unless they retire. A person looking for employment in any of these agencies will ultimately have
