Police officers are law enforcement professionals who maintain public order, enforce laws, and respond to emergency situations. They are responsible for patrolling designated areas, conducting investigations, and making arrests. Detectives, on the other hand, are specialized officers who focus on solving crimes by gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and analyzing information. They often work closely with other law enforcement agencies to solve complex cases.
