furb 07/03/21 4:13:29 PM #9:	Yes We have a patchwork of law enforcement. But broadly. Sheriff is a county level law enforcement body. They usually have a role in tax collection historically. This is generally an elected office that overseas the department. Then you have the "police" which are usually tied to specific municipalities or townships and locally funded by the area they serve. State police-highway patrol. State level law enforcement that easily crosses County lines. Not typically used in day to day level crime enforcement. Then you have federal law enforcement. FBI, ATF, DEA, ICE, CBP and more. They have different purposes but are foremost intended to enforce elements of federal law and not state local law. --- You know how fads are.
