Police cars are usually very visible in our society, advertising the important role of police and loved by children.
The role of the police is to enforce the law, to ensure the safety, health, and possessions of citizens, and to prevent crime and civil disorder.
Law enforcement is as old as human society and the giving of laws itself. In ancient China, Babylon and Egypt there were special law enforcement bodies.
Law enforcement is a part of the political process. Not all laws are fair, not all politicians are honest and the job can be risky.
We honor all good police on this 4th of July 2023 and hope you will enjoy our selection of photos.
