The primary agency is the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA), established in 2015 to consolidate several state-level departments for efficiency and coordination. ALEA oversees divisions such as the Department of Safety, the Office of the Secretary, and the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI). Other key agencies include the Alabama Department of Corrections, which manages the state’s prison system, and the Alabama Department of Public Safety, which handles traffic enforcement and public safety services. These agencies work collaboratively to ensure law and order across Alabama.
