	Federal police - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Federal police agencies are responsible for the enforcement of federal laws in countries with a federal constitution.
		Their exact role varies from country to country, but their work typically includes areas such as immigration control, investigating counterfeiting, policing of airports, and the protection of the head of state and of other members of federal institutions.
		The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is atypical in that in addition to acting as a federal, or national, police agency and policing the country's three territories, it is also contracted by most of Canada's provices and many municipalities to police those jurisdictions, even though they are constitutionally provincial responsibilities.

		The United States Park Police (USPP), a division of the National Park Service, which is in turn part of the Department of the Interior, operates networks of surveillance cameras at the White House, the FDR Memorial, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial and the Vietnam Veterans' War Memorial.

		It wasn't until 16 June 2003 that the USPP finally produced a final policy statement; and it did so only in response to pressure brought to bear by the Electronic Privacy Information Center, among others.

		[3] Presumably the city police were expected to apprehend most violators, for although records of the period specify appropriations for watchmen at certain public buildings, including the White House and Capitol, they contain no reference to watchmen in the parks or grounds.
		[9] A published account of the force in 1931 repeated this understanding: "[I]n 1867 the forerunners of the present body of United States Park Police, consisting of two men appointed as watchmen for the Monument grounds, were appointed at a salary of $720 per annum.
