A law enforcement agency (LEA) is any agency which enforces the law. This may be a special, local police/sheriff, or state trooper, and federal agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) or the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Also, it can be used to describe an international organization such as Europol or Interpol.
This is a list of law enforcement agencies, organized by continent and then by country.
