Using police power

Description

Using police power involves the authoritative enforcement of laws and regulations by state or local agencies to maintain public order, protect citizens, and prevent or address crime and disorder. This strategy enables authorities to intervene directly in situations threatening safety or legality, providing immediate remedies such as arrest, detention, or dispersal. Its practical intent is to uphold social stability, deter unlawful behavior, and ensure compliance with legal standards for the collective well-being of the community.
