civilian in the same way that politicians or other civil servants are civilians?

If the Attorney General of the US (part of the executive) is the chief law enforcement official and the entire DOJ is essentially enforcing the (federal) law as the AG sees fit - aren't all of those officers essentially a part of the executive branch of the government?

Wouldn't this be the same at the state level (ie: all of the state law enforcement officers are reporting to that states AG etc. etc. ) ?
