The Enforcers, History Channel, 2001

They are four of America's more controversial law enforcement agencies. Each performs a vital task, and each has been the target of public condemnation and seen its share of scandal. But despite their setbacks and struggles, they remain a vital part of the tapestry of government agencies charged with protecting the nation.

The Enforcers traces the history of these agencies, revealing how and when they were formed, tracking their development over the decades and showing how they have overcome controversy and adjusted to changing demands.

Filled with incredible footage, declassified documents and testimony from past and present agents and administrators, The Enforcers takes us inside these four fascinating groups:

  • The ATF: ATF Director Bradley Buckles details the reforms made by the agency in the aftermath of Waco.
  • The DEA: Get the inside story of how two major Columbian cartels were toppled.
  • Border Patrol: See how the Border Patrol has evolved from horse-and-buggy to high-tech, and go on patrol at one of the busiest crossings.
  • Texas Rangers: See how the legendary lawmen of the Wild West have adapted to present-day demands
