[edit] Article name and use as a dab
I was suprised to see this as a dab page with the article being at code enforcement. Somehow this does not seem correct since law enforcement is generally taken to be what the police do. I think that moving the code enforcement article here would be just fine. I'm not sure that dab article is really needed. But I wanted to see if there are other options.

- I agree. Redirect to code enforcement. If people want the police article, they're going to type police. Simon12 02:42, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- I disagree with the above. I think most law enforcement links are meant to go to the agencies that enforce laws. The current article on the concept of law enforcement is not what I believe most people are looking for. I suggest that Law enforcement be redirected to Police, Code Enforcement be moved to Law enforcement (process), and a header be added to Police reading "The article is about the agencies who practice law enforcement. For the act itself, see Law enforcement (process)." --Daniel Olsen 20:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- I can buy that. I was worried that code enforcement was some kind of term around the world for law enforcement. There may still be an article needed at code enforcement since it applies to other things, but a redirect in the short term should be OK. Vegaswikian 04:50, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
- I took another look at the code enforcement article and decided to do a rewrite since it did not even begin to address the full set of code enforcement activities. I added a few and rewrote to fit the wider context. So that article can stay where it is. If we need to define the Law enforcement (process) we can create that article. I did the dab on police and I'll change this to a redirect. Vegaswikian 05:20, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
