Law Enforcement

Law Enforcement is basiclly describing what is left on civillian police forces during the Infection. Like the Military, they played a part in attempting to contain the Infection and evacuate citizens during the early days of the infection. Also like the Military, many of its members have succumbed to the Infection and so appear (in their uniforms) as part of the huge army of Common Infected.

Involvement with containing The Infection
In Fairfield, police were working with the military and CEDA in an attempt to fight and stop the Green Flu epidemic from spreading after things got out of hand. At first, CEDA policy banned civilians from possessing firearms, which the police likely enforced and may have just arrested Infected individuals attacking humans while SWAT handeled large groups of infected with non lethal tatics such as tears gas and riot shields at first but when the situation got worse, police possibly handed out weapons to civilians and began to use lethal force as they lost more members to the sickness and out of desperation. As the infection was spreding, law enforcement in other cities began to help evacuation efforts by keeping the public orderly and calm and was likely helped out by security officers hired by CEDA; this can be seen in such areas like New Orleans and Fort Harris County.

Technologies used in the series
Police Cars ― These are a common form of transport for police, and through most campaigns in both games can be mostly found in evacuation areas but are also found in locations such as highways or in the streets occaionally with their light bars on. Their design is based on the common American and Canadian patrol car, the Ford Crown Victoria.

It being the only police vehicle seen so far is quite odd as police departments use an array of specialty vehicles such as helicopters, watercraft, command post, vans, trucks, all terrain vehicles, motorcycles, and SWAT armored vehicles. A plausible reason is that they have been destroyed by the Infected or may have been abandoned.
