The policy implementation presents to be the key link for the public policy to achieve the expected purpose and resolve the practical problems. In accordance with the definition of street-level bureaucrat, street-level bureaucrats are grassroots officials who are located in the bottom and low-level of the government and interact with citizens in the course of their jobs. The grassroots law enforcement officers refer to a typical group subordinate to the street-level bureaucrat. As the grass-root civil servants in terms of administrative law enforcement, the grassroots law enforcement officers serve as the direct executive of social administration and supervision and perform the law enforcement responsibilities on the administrative punishments, administrative enforcement and administrative supervision. The process by the grassroots law enforcement officers is actually the process of policy enforcement. Hence the final implementation of policy depends on the policy execution of grassroots law enforcement officers. In recent years there emerges many problems in the enforcement process exposing the deficient policy enforcement, which not only trigger the anger among the general public but also fling constantly the grassroots law enforcement officers to the spotlight of the media, tarring the public image of government and intensifying the conflicts between the government and the public. Therefore how to effectively launch the law enforcement during policy enforcing process by the grassroots law enforcement officers becomes the focal point of the public and a problem that needs to be solved.This paper tries to analysis the problem of grassroots law enforcement officers’policy implementation from the angel of street-level bureaucracy theory. This paper firstly analyses the theory of the street-level bureaucracy in brief and establishes the analytical framework of the policy implementation of the grassroots law enforcement officers, which is the willpower, capability and the effectiveness of implementation. Secondly, based on the theory of the street-level bureaucracy, this paper dissects the manifestations of the insufficiency of the policy execution of grassroots law enforcement featuring the lacking of willpower of enforcement, the execution that needs to be improved and the deficiency of effectiveness of enforcement. Then this paper, using the theory of the street-level bureaucracy, delivers the analysis of reasons contributing the lacking of policy implementation, namely the one-way mode of execution by the grassroots law enforcement officers, the insufficient of enforcement mechanism (including the incentive mechanism, the coordination communication mechanism, the performance measure mechanism, and the regulation mechanism for discretion), and the complex environment for grass-root law enforcement. Based on the analysis on the reasons the paper finally proposes the countermeasures to promote the enforcement of grassroots law enforcement officers as the establishment of policy implementation mode through dialogue, facilitate the system construction of the enforcement mechanism, and optimize the environment for the grassroots law enforcement.
