A municipal police officer is one who works for a municipality, or city. They are one of the more common police officers, and have the same powers as county, state, and federal police officers.

The generic term is Peace Officer. Generally cities have Police Departments and employ police officers. Counties have Sheriff's Department and employ Sheriff's deputies. States have various state level agencies and employ state troopers or traffic officers, state narcotics agents and many other titles from Arson Investigators to Museum guards.
