What else is there for law enforcement? Is EH not including sheriff/deputy/trooper/detective/inspector as police? CIA wouldn’t be considered law enforcement, since they’re more for overseas intelligence gathering. What else is there on the court side of things? Can’t think of any notable bailiffs or stenographers. This is my game guess. IQ: Did you direct the user of fire hoses and attack dogs against civil rights protesters in Birmingham Alabama in 1963? ---

Yes, I am Theophilus Eugene “Bull” Connor the racist thug who was Commissioner of Public Safety (supervising both the police and fire departments, but he wasn’t a police officer) of Birmingham, Ala. during the worst of the Civil Rights Era troubles there: [Bull Connor - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull_Connor).
