  • First responders such as fire and police departments, share a mission to keep people and property safe, as do the workers who patrol city streets, coastal waters, ski slopes, and swimming beaches.
  • Laws guide relationships among people, institutions, and government; workers in the law sector enforce these laws, and sometimes create them.
  • Lawyers conduct research, prepare documents, gather testimony, and argue cases before judges or juries. Judges interpret laws and sentence defendants.
  • The corrections sector consists of city and county jails, state and federal prisons, community correctional facilities, and juvenile detention centers.
