Once a policy is developed to address an issue, who implements and enforces it? government agencies and police forces citizens and specialized businesses designated military and civilian officers legislators and judicial officials

A. government agencies and police forces

The first alternative is correct.

A public policy consists of an action or a program developed by the State to guarantee and put into practice everything provided for in Law.

The planning, creation and execution of these policies is done in a joint work of the three Powers that form the State: Legislative, Executive and Judiciary.

The Legislative Branch or the Executive can propose public policies. The Legislative creates laws related to a particular public policy and the Executive is responsible for the planning of action and for the application of the policy. The Judiciary, on the other hand, controls the law created and confirms that it is adequate to fulfill the objective.

In this context, the application of public policy is given by the executive branch. Government agencies are part of the instruments that the executive has to implement public policies. Eventually, police forces also participate in this task, acting in a more coercive manner.
