Most agencies encourage or require off-duty carrying of weapons by law enforcement officers. A recently-passed law allows off-duty, sworn and certified law-enforcement officers to carry concealed weapons any place in the U.S. (it is not prohibited by law to carry, but there may be restrictions on specific sites, such as court houses, churches, etc. that will impact the off-duty carrying out of the officers home state). In all states I am aware of, off-duty officers of that state may carry weapons anyplace they could carry them on-duty (which is everywhere).
During the 18th century in America, the most common form of law enforcement was the use of community volunteers known as the watch system. These volunteers would patrol the streets at night to deter and prevent crime. Additionally, sheriffs and constables played a significant role in maintaining law and order in their respective jurisdictions.

This measure would establish national measures of uniformity and consistency to permit trained and certified on-duty, off-duty or retired law enforcement officers to carry concealed firearms in most situations so that they may respond immediately to crimes across State and other jurisdictional lines, as well as to protect themselves and their families from vindictive criminals.

Law enforcement agencies are obligated to participate in the UCR. The UCR helps agencies compare themselves to national standards and determine what they can change.

Some reasons why it was difficult to enforce Prohibition laws were widespread public sentiment against the restrictions, the rise of organized crime exploiting the illegal alcohol trade, corrupt law enforcement and political officials, and the vast geographical size of the United States making enforcement challenging.

The officer. Technology changes, weapons change, civilization changes, but the police officer will always be the most important part of police work.
In New York, submachine guns are classified as "assault weapons" and are generally illegal for civilian ownership. The state's laws prohibit the possession, sale, and transfer of these firearms, as well as many other types of semi-automatic weapons. However, law enforcement and certain government agencies may have exemptions. Always check the most current laws or consult legal experts for specific situations.
Only two nuclear weapons have been used in combat, both quite primitive designs to the weapons that are deployed today. The weapon with the most quantities in the current active US nuclear stockpile is the W76/Mk-4 warhead.
The potential radius of current nuclear weapons can vary, but typically range from a few kilometers to tens of kilometers for the most powerful warheads. The exact radius would depend on factors such as the size of the warhead, the type of detonation, and the location of the explosion.
Trace them for WHAT? Stolen weapons? Take them to your local law enforcement agency and ask them to run them through the stolen gun file. Most will accommodate your request. To trace them for historical purposes? Contact the manufacturer.
In most counties the Sheriff or District Attorney is the chief law enforcement officer for the county. In most states the State Attorney General is the chief law enforcement officer for the state.
