fuerzas del orden/cumplimiento de la ley


Explanation:
Depende del contexto:
Si se refiere a personas que no puedan usar la raza de uno para cumplir la ley, en mi opinión sería: "las fuerzas del orden..."
Sin embargo, si se refiere a una situación donde la ley tiene que ser puesta en marcha sin tener en cuenta la raza de uno, sería "cumplimiento de la ley."
