The main difference between these officers and those at the state or federal level is they are the initial enforcement front for all criminal laws. Police Chiefs are usually appointed by the mayor but sometimes elected to office. They can be anywhere from a detective to a dispatcher to jailers that protect us as citizens and enforce laws passed at all levels of government.

State enforcement officials are normally elected by county voters in most states.
Although there are many groups dedicated to domestic terrorism, many acts of terrorism are committed by lone individuals or small groups. We must also understand the motives behind the acts, every event has usually had some political motive behind it. Religious motivated domestic terrorism plays a smaller role in The Untied States, but can be quite common elsewhere in the world. The political motives can be divided into three sections; left-wing, right-wing, and special interest. Groups like the Ku Klux Klan and The Animal Liberation Front, are classified as “special interest” groups because their beliefs are not specific to any one end of the political spectrum.
Limiting the functions of police agencies prevents police from doing their job and puts these countries citizens in harm’s way. State police are also responsible for more than just highway patrol; they have many positions across their state with many different functions. State police agencies include parks and wildlife police, highway patrol, and departments of public safety.

There are differences that exist between the government and the local authorities. Government officials at the federal level such as the FBI, DEA, and many others can look into crimes on anyone in the United States. Where a state trooper can only take care of their own state and a local authority can only deal with their own city. At the federal level, Congress decides on tax cuts and how things will operate throughout the United States. At times the government even sets laws that local and county officers must abide by and apply them equally to everyone even though they may not agree with them.
Drivers are arrested daily, some being first time offenders while many are repeat offenders. Although laws differ from state to state here is a typical routine facing repeat offenders “Getting an attorney in hopes of getting a reduced a reduced sentence or pleading to a reduced charge is a waste of time and money in many states.
