The category is for "law enforcement."  I would say yes.

If they are a sworn, badged officer, they're in.

I don't know about other states, but here in Illinois, I believe we divide law enforcement into police officers and peace officers. As I was taught at the IDOC academy, police officers have police powers anywhere within their jurisdiction. Peace officers have more restricted police powers. I as a corrections officer am a peace officer. I have full police powers on state property but not anywhere else. Others that would fall into this are like campus police officers at 2 year colleges. An officer of the court with arrest powers sounds like a marshal. Many larger counties have city marshals that are the court bailiffs, jailers, and process servers in addition to a county sheriff's department or county police department. There are many permutations of the term law enforcement officer depending on local, county, state, and federal laws. I would give them the benefit of the doubt.

I'd say if they're sworn, badged and armed, they'd be in, regardless of scope of jurisdiction.  But shoot boss discretion as always.
