The state police department is a type of law enforcement that is exclusive to each state and provides for public safety. As a result, the government rather than a private corporation run police organizations in several states.

Additionally, these organizations offer the general public travel and tourism-related services on behalf of lodging or travel suppliers to present various travel bundles for various locations. Since admission to amusement parks is a cost or subject to charges, they do not fall under the definition of the public sector. A person cannot access parks freely or in his or her own way; rather, they must adhere to certain rules and pay a certain fee before entering. Gambling casino is not considered private as there are some restrictions and guidelines to regulate them. The government uses its authority to control both domestic and foreign gambling. A swap meet is a group of people who come together to purchase, sell, or trade collectibles, secondhand goods, etc. As a result, it is a public market that enables communities to freely exchange goods at reasonable costs.
