Answer: Option 3 - Law enforcement was organized by individual politicians.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the time of political era of law enforcement history, police represented the local politicians. Policemen were employed and if need be, fired by the politicians that hired them as there was no civil service system as at then. They (policemen) only favored and pleased the politicians to an extend that they only handled problems that were of interest to the politicians who employed them.
