The Lower Elements Police is a fictional law enforcement organization of the fairy People, who live in the Lower Elements (underground) in Artemis Fowl book series.
The L.E.P is made up of several different units such as all police forces. Overall, the departments' job is to maintain order and to stop humans of getting word of their existence.

This department plays the principal role in the series because both Julius Root and Holly Short are members of it. The role of this department is most importantly to track down escaped goblins or other various escaped prisoners, especially those that are pleading with humans for asylum, or catch black market dealers that sell to both faires and mud men. This is one the reasons that Mulch is so well acquainted with Julius Root and Holly Short, as they have helped keep in him prison, his prison record being much longer than the life of an average Mud Man (human). Basically they serve as mainly an elite scout force, one with a notoriously high fatality rate, espically when contingencies come up in their missions. This departments has created the name Leprechauns, as they were often times sighted in the early days by humans with uniforms resembling the Irish folklore of them, green hats, etc...
LEPretrieval
This is one of the strongest departments in the L.E.P. While Recon tracks down criminals, rogue trolls, etc., it is Retrieval's principal job to actually be the ones who come in, apprehend the criminals, and mind-wipe the humans who have seen them. Yet some officers, such as Holly Short, have a record for going in without them, often times jeopardizing her job. They are mentioned in Artemis Fowl (book), as the best and the brightest of the L.E.P, though they are single-handedly disabled by the manservant Domovoi Butler.
Other Minor Departments
Some of the minor departments of the L.E.P include Traffic, mainly in charge of traffic, and immigration, who is important for issuing visa to allow fairies to the surface and perform their magic restoring Ritual.
