The judicial branch of the government (court system) is responsible for upholding the law when presented with facts which prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the offender violated either statutory (legislated) or common (judge-made, over time) criminal law.

The legislative branch enacts statutes (laws). The executive branch includes the police force, which sets out to enforce the laws and investigate violations.
