Law enforcement officers have the responsibility of upholding the law, protecting the community, and keep order among society.

The death marches of 1944 through 1945 were some of the worst years. Prison inmates gave the name ¨death marches¨ to the forced evacuations on foot of concentration and slave labor camps during that winter.
