Nah, the reason is the Byzantine law enforcement structure in the US. You can’t just say “the police” because they have so many officers running around enforcing parts of the law that are not police. FBI, DEA, ATF CBP, ICE and god knows what else are state agents, are involved in law enforcement and are all arguably not police.

So to get a proper generic term, of course they add another TLA to the alphabet soup.

I see where your confusion comes from. You think you have a pancake there =) To me that looks more like a Austrian Kaiserschmarrn. Delicious, but how are you supposed to put a spread on that and roll it up?

Though your point stands that pancakes are just close approximations of proper crêpe. =)
