Law enforcement is the activity of some government members who act organized to enforce the law by discovering, deterring, rehabilitating, or punishing people who violate the rules and norms governing that society. The term encompasses police, courts, and corrections. These three components may operate independently of each other or collectively through the use of record sharing and mutual cooperation.

Modern state legal codes use the term peace officer, or law enforcement officer, to include every person vested by the legislating State with police power or authority, traditionally, anyone "sworn or badged, who can arrest any person for a violation of criminal law, is included under the umbrella term of law enforcement.

Although law enforcement may be most concerned with preventing and punishing crimes, organizations exist to discourage a wide variety of non-criminal violations of rules and norms, effected through the imposition of less severe consequences such as probation.

The police are a constituted body of persons empowered by a state to enforce the law, ensure citizens' safety, health, and possessions, and prevent crime and civil disorder. Their lawful powers include arrest and the use of force legitimized by the State via the monopoly on violence. The term is most commonly associated with the police forces of a sovereign state that are authorized to exercise the police power of that State within a defined legal or territorial area of responsibility. Police forces are often defined as separate from the military and other organizations involved in the State's defence against foreign aggressors; however, the gendarmerie is a military unit charged with civil policing. Police forces are usually public sector services funded through taxes.

Law enforcement is only part of policing activity. Policing has included various activities in different situations, but the predominant ones concern preserving order. Some societies in the late 18th and early 19th centuries developed within the context of maintaining the class system and protecting private property. Police forces have become ubiquitous in modern societies. Nevertheless, their role can be controversial, as they may be involved in corruption, brutality and enforcing authoritarian rule to varying degrees.

Sûreté du Québec 

The Sûreté du Québec (SQ; lit. 'Quebec Security') is the provincial police service for the Canadian province of Quebec. No official English name exists, but the agency's name is sometimes translated to 'Quebec Provincial Police' or QPP in English-language sources. The headquarters of the Sûreté du Québec is located on Parthenais Street in Montreal's Sainte-Marie neighbourhood, and the service employs over 5,000 officers. The SQ is the second-largest provincial police service (behind the Ontario Provincial Police) and the fourth-largest police service in Canada (behind the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Toronto Police Service and the Ontario Provincial Police).

On February 1, 1870, the Quebec provincial government created the Police provinciale du Québec under the direction of its first commissioner, Judge Pierre-Antoine Doucet. This new service took over the headquarters of the Quebec City municipal police, which were disbanded, although the city relaunched a municipal service in 1877.

La Sûreté du Québec (SQ) est le corps de police provincial du Québec. Elle est l’une des plus anciennes institutions québécoises encore en existence. C'est aussi la seule organisation policière à servir tout le territoire québécois. Elle fut créée par l’Acte de police de Québec, sanctionné le 1er février 1870. C’est le 1er mai 1870 que l’organisation de la police provinciale de Québec est complétée.

La SQ est l'une des trois forces de police provinciales au Canada, les autres appartenant à l'Ontario et à Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, alors que la Gendarmerie royale du Canada (GRC) agit à titre de police provinciale dans les autres provinces. La GRC est déléguée à des taches spécifiques dans cette province, comme en Ontario.

Ontario Provincial Police 

The Ontario Provincial Police provides policing services to areas of Ontario not policed by a regional or municipal police service. Municipalities can also be policed by the OPP under contract, with 323 as of 2019. Some detachments also host satellite detachments that police a local area, covering over one million square kilometres, approximately 128,000 kilometres of provincial highway and over 13 million people. The OPP General Headquarters is at 777 Memorial Avenue in Orillia at the Lincoln M. Alexander Building. The relocation of the general headquarters to Orillia was part of a government move to decentralize ministries and operations to other parts of Ontario. Previously, from 1973 to 1995, the headquarters were located in Toronto at 90 Harbour Street, the site of the former Workmen's Compensation Board building.

The OPP also works with other provincial agencies, including the Ministry of Transportation and Natural Resources, to enforce highway safety and conservation regulations, respectively. Finally, OPP officers provide security at the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in Toronto.

Previously, the OPP was divided into seventeen different regions. In 1995, OPP operations were amalgamated into six regions, with five providing general policing services. One provides traffic policing services on provincial highways in the Greater Toronto Area (general police in the GTA are provided by regional/municipal police forces, namely in Toronto, York, Durham, Peel, Halton, Waterloo, Barrie, Hamilton, South Simcoe) following recommendations by the Ipperwash Inquiry. OPP police stations are known as "detachments."

Canadian Sex Offender Petition (2013/03/08)

• Do you know that the RCMP actively maintains a registry of all convicted sex offenders living in Canada? 

• Did you know that only the police and certain government officials can access it? 

• With a reconviction rate of nearly 40% for certain sex offenders (especially those that molest children), don't you think you should know who is around your children and what their intentions might be? 

• Would you instead find out that a convicted sex offender is near you before they hurt someone you love or after?

Law enforcement chaplains serve in local, county, state and federal agencies and provide various services within the law enforcement community. They should be distinct from prison chaplains, whose primary ministry is to those incarcerated, awaiting trial or after conviction. The role of the law enforcement chaplain deals primarily with law enforcement personnel and agencies. The chaplain responds to these unique needs and challenges with religious guidance, reassuring and trustworthy presence, resources and counselling services. The law enforcement chaplain supports law enforcement officers, administrators, support staff, victims and their families, and occasionally even the families of accused or convicted offenders.

EMERGENCY MINISTRY

The burdens can affect the first responder's family, co-workers and even the community they serve. Public Safety Chaplains understand the unique environment that our first responders labour under, and we'd like to provide guidance, comfort, advice and assistance when called upon.

Conditions to be Police Chaplain / Conditions pour être aumônier de police

1. Un membre doit être une personne ecclésiastique certifiée en règle et approuvé pour le ministère de l'aumônerie de la police par un organisme religieux reconnu.

2. Un membre doit également être approuvé par le service de police ou l'association de police qu'il sert.

1. A member must be a certified ecclesiastical person in good standing and approved for the ministry of police chaplaincy by a recognized religious body.

2. The police department or police association must also approve the members they serve.

Law enforcement in Canada consists of public-sector police forces that are associated with and commissioned by the three levels of government: municipal (both lower and upper-tier), provincial, and federal. In addition, many First Nations reserves have their police forces established through agreements between the governing native band, province and the federal government. The provinces have given most urban areas the authority to maintain their police forces. Seven of Canada's provinces and all three territories, in turn, contract out their provincial or territorial law-enforcement responsibilities to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP, popularly known in English-speaking areas as the "Mounties"), the national police force, which is commissioned to the federal level of government; the other three maintain provincial police forces, although one also partially contracts out to the RCMP. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is Canada's second-largest law enforcement agency. The CBSA facilitates the flow of legitimate travellers and trade. The agency also enforces more than 90 acts and regulations. Since December 2003, the CBSA has been an integral part of the Public Safety Portfolio. The president of the CBSA reports directly to the Minister of Public Safety Canada and controls and manages all matters relating to the agency.

L’application de la loi au Canada est effectuée par les corps policiers fédéral, provinciaux et municipaux. Constitutionnellement, l'application de la loi est une responsabilité provinciale. Cependant, la plupart des zones urbaines se sont vu déléguer cette autorité par les législatures provinciales. Seules trois provinces ont des corps policiers provinciaux. Les sept autres provinces ont cependant conclu des ententes contractuelles avec la Gendarmerie royale du Canada (GRC), la police fédérale, pour lui donner en sous-traitance les responsabilités de ses homologues provinciaux.

La province de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador est une des provinces qui possède son propre corps policier provincial. Cependant, celui-ci ne patrouille que dans les grandes zones urbaines. La province a conclu une entente avec la Gendarmerie royale du Canada (GRC) pour que cette dernière patrouille dans le reste de la province. La GRC, familièrement connue sous le nom de « police montée », est le seul corps policier qui est en service sur les trois paliers de gouvernement. L'Ontario, le Québec et Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador administrent leur propre organisation provinciale : la Police provinciale de l'Ontario (PPO), la Sûreté du Québec (SQ) et la Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (Forces constables royale de Terre-neuve). Certaines municipalités donnent souvent à contrat leur service de police aux corps policiers de leur province respective, alors que d'autres municipalités possèdent leur propre corps policier.

D'autre part, certains corps policiers sont des organisations privées, mais possèdent les mêmes pouvoirs que les autorités policières gouvernementales. Par exemple, les compagnies ferroviaires Canadien National et Canadien Pacifique ont toutes deux leurs propres corps policier. Principalement, leur mission est la prévention des crimes contre les chemins de fer, la protection des marchandises et des matériaux en transit sur leurs systèmes ferroviaires respectifs. Ils travaillent à protéger le public, le personnel ferroviaire et les biens qui sont détenus ou administrés par les compagnies de chemins de fer.

La Sûreté du Québec (SQ) est le corps de police provincial du Québec. Elle est l’une des plus anciennes institutions québécoises encore en existence. C'est aussi la seule organisation policière à servir tout le territoire québécois. Elle fut créée par l’Acte de police de Québec, sanctionné le 1er février 1870. C’est le 1er mai 1870 que l’organisation de la police provinciale de Québec est complétée.

La SQ est l'une des trois forces de police provinciales au Canada, les autres appartenant à l'Ontario et à Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, alors que la Gendarmerie royale du Canada (GRC) agit à titre de police provinciale dans les autres provinces. La GRC est déléguée à des taches spécifiques dans cette province, comme en Ontario.
