Traditionally, police were known as PEACE OFFICERS, charged with upholding, preserving the PEACE.
Among the government positions I have held in my adult life is JUSTICE OF THE PEACE. I don’t deal with criminal matters in this role, but in earlier times petty crimes were adjudicated by JPs.
So, LEO is a MODERN term for peace officers, Liberals are not changing the definition when they want police referred to as Peace Officers. Police are charged with maintaining the peace. That cannot be said of a ‘meter maid’ who is a sworn Law Enforcement Officer, charged with enforcing local statutes regarding parking.
The OP is worked up about nothing
