Possibly stupid question about police...

A policeman is there to uphold/enforce the law, right? (Question 1: Is there a difference between uphold and enforce? I've heard both terms used)

Does that imply that part of the training is exactly that, law? I always wondered if a policeman would be expected to know laws like a lawyer would, and since I know at least one person on here would know the answer, I decided to bite the bullet and ask

If the question is retarded, I do apologise and I expect a torrent of 'NOOB'
