In the US, copyright is a federal law, so anyone from the local police to the FBI can become involved. Customs and Border Protection is concerned with intellectual property issues involved in imports, such as pirated DVDs or fake designer handbags.

However, rightsholders often take it upon themselves to address infringement, because it's faster, easier, and often less expensive than involving law enforcement. If I know you've published my photos in your magazine without my permission, I would send a cease-and-desist or even just an invoice for a fair price long before I considered going to the police--and because it's much easier than being taken to court, you'd probably just pay me what I asked for.

Copyright lawsuits usually occur between individuals or companies & are civil matters, handled through the circuit courts, without the involvement of law enforcement agencies. In the rare criminal prosecution the regional US Attorney Generals office is in charge of the prosecution.
