federal law enforcement

Federal law enforcement refers to agencies of the U.S. government that enforce federal laws and regulations. These agencies, such as the FBI, DEA, and ATF, handle crimes that cross state lines or involve federal interests, such as terrorism, drug trafficking, and immigration violations. They conduct investigations, gather evidence, and make arrests. Federal officers work alongside state and local law enforcement when necessary. Their work is crucial for maintaining national security and upholding the law across the country, ensuring that serious crimes are addressed in a coordinated and effective manner.
