In the United States, there are several levels of policing and law enforcement services, federal police, state police, special-purpose district police (parks, schools, housing, transit etc), county police (sheriffs, constables, and some county police agencies), and local police.
They also enforce laws in their particular jurisdictions and are usually the only police in unincorporated areas beyond the jurisdiction of the cities.
Many municipalities contract out their law enforcement to the provincial authorities, and all but three provinces in turn contract out their law enforcement responsibilities to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the federal force, which therefore is the only police force in the world to service three distinct levels.

 Cyberstalking: A New Challenge for Law Enforcement and Industry
Law enforcement agencies need training on the nature and extent of the cyberstalking problem, including specific training on the legal tools available to address the problem, the need for, and effectiveness of, prompt action by law enforcement agencies, the most effective techniques to investigate and prosecute cyberstalking crimes, and the resources available to cyberstalking victims.
Law enforcement agencies with existing stalking or computer crime units should consider expanding the mission of such units to include cyberstalking, and law enforcement agencies that do not presently have a stalking section should consider expanding their capabilities to address this issue.
Law enforcement agencies should use mechanisms for quickly and reliably sharing information about cyberstalking incidents with other law enforcement agencies, thereby making it less likely that a cyberstalker can continue threatening behavior simply because neither the jurisdiction of the sender nor the jurisdiction of the victim believes that it can prosecute the offender.
