What will be an ideal response?
Large and small municipal departments, county sheriff’s departments, and campus and transit police are only some of what can be considered local police. Sheriff’s departments are responsible for serving court papers, maintaining security within courtrooms, and running the county jails. Municipal departments are charged with enforcing the law and protecting the citizens within their specific jurisdiction. Similarly, campus and transit police have a different type of city in which to do their job. For campus police, their jurisdiction is the college campus; for transit police, their jurisdiction is the routes and associated properties of the district.
