"The Jedi can't get involved. This is a job for the local police."
?Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker[src]

The Coruscant Security Force was the law enforcement agency on Coruscant
A law enforcement agency, also referred to as a police force or security force, was
an organization charged with enforcing laws, maintaining order, and protecting life
and property. They were staffed by police officers or some cases soldiers and were
generally structured as a paramilitary force or militia though they were rarely
armed for full scale war. Sometimes police droids were utilized to supplement
sentient peacekeepers in larger agencies or for smaller outposts and space
stations.

DescriptionEdit
"This is a dangerous situation, Your Highness. Our security volunteers will be no
match against a battle-hardened Federation army."
?Panaka, to Queen Amidala[src]
A law enforcement agency,[1] also called a police force[2] or security force,[3]
was an organization charged with maintaining order, enforcing laws, and protecting
life and property.[4] Some law enforcement agencies also served as a military for
their local governments, however they simply kept the peace and were not armed for
full scale war.[5]

The Naboo Security Force was a volunteer police
Law enforcement was generally conducted on a local or planetary level but their
size, functions, and training could vary greatly. They could be a local security
force,[6] or could be responsible to protect a whole, densely urbanized planet such
as the Coruscant Security Force.[4] Some served primarily as bodyguards and elite
security forces, such as the Senate Guard,[7] others were volunteer security and
policing corps such as the Royal Security Forces on the planet Naboo.[5]

The Jedi Order had policing authority under the Galactic Republic and could conduct
criminal investigations and make arrests.[8] Some even became experienced in local
criminal and policing matters.[9] However, the Jedi served the Republic as a whole
as keepers of the peace and guardians of justice.[10]
Under the Galactic Empire, the Imperial Security Bureau was formed as a secret
police to enforce the New Order across the galaxy. Agents like Kallus were sent to
assist the Imperial Military in putting down rebellions like the Lothal
insurgency].[11]
Police officers were employed by law enforcement agencies. Most wore uniforms of
some kind and held ranks that were military in nature. Lower ranking officers would
perform tasks such as patrolling their areas, responding to incidents, and
conducting preliminary investigations.[12] Higher ranking officers would supervise
a group of officers, provide field reports, conduct investigations, and answered to
government leaders.[13] Serious crimes would be investigated by specialized
officers such as detectives. Generally, they were experienced police officers in
dealing with in depth investigations.[9]
While flesh and blood officers were common, police droids were used extensively
either on dense urban planets such as Coruscant or in spaceports that found it more
financially feasible to use droids. Generally, droids were programed not to cause
harm unless it was in protection of others, in which case they were authorized to
use force, even deadly force. Droids were also useful in that they enforced the law
without prejudice and/or corruption.[1]
