Police are normally considered an emergency service and may provide a public safety function at large gatherings, as well as in emergencies, disasters, and search and rescue situations.
Police are also responsible for reporting minor offenses by issuing citations which typically may result in the imposition of fines, particularly for violations of traffic law.
Police sometimes involve themselves in the maintenance of public order, even where no legal transgressions have occurred -- for example, in some Australian jurisdictions, people who are drunk and causing a public nuisance may be removed to a "drying-out centre" until they recover from the effects of the alcohol.

 Bosnia-Herzegovina: Recommendations on the European Union Police Mission
Amnesty International urges the European Union Police Mission (EUPM) in Bosnia-Herzegovina, which will be officially launched in Sarajevo on 15 January, to give high priority to ensuring that the outstanding legacy of human rights violations committed during the war are investigated.
Recognizing that the investigation and prosecution of human rights violation is first and foremost the duty of the local Bosnian police force and judiciary, Amnesty International calls on the EUPM to play a leading role in supporting and supervising this daunting task.
Amnesty International therefore urges the EUPM to ensure that "mainstreaming human rights" will mean in effect that the mission will use this unprecedented opportunity to contribute to the quest for justice awaited by thousands of people in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
