Is there a difference between being sworn in vs a law enforcement officer?

I've been working on preparing myself for a computer forensics career and I recently learned from my local police department that if were to work with them I would need to be sworn in. Is that different from a law enforcement officer? What's the process for becoming sworn in?
 
Its an oath, probably varies from agency to agency. (like FBI, Sheriff, Police, etc.)

EDIT: To answer your question, you need to take that oath, or be sworn in, to be a law enforcement officer with them.
 
There is a difference between being sworn and certified. Most LE Officers are Certified, meaning they went to an academy of sorts. Sworn means you can uphold the laws of your jurisdiction, etc.

^better answer than mine, much clearer. Its like if you went to a police academy and pass, you now have that credential. Now you need to take it, get hired, and then sworn in so that you can enforce the law. (like law school, they graduate but need to take an oath to practice after the bar if I'm not mistaking.)
