Auxiliary policeAuxiliary police, also called volunteer police, reserve police, assistant police, civil guards, or special police, are usually the part-time reserves of a regular police force. They may be unpaid volunteers or paid members of the police service with which they are affiliated. Auxiliary police are primarily tasked with supporting and augmenting the police, but this may also extend to established emergency services such as the fire department, emergency medical services, border patrol, and coast guard.
Police community support officerA Police Community Support Officer (PCSO; swyddog cymorth cymunedol yr heddlu, SCCH), or as written in legislation Community Support Officer (CSO; swyddog cymorth cymunedol, SCC) is a uniformed member of police staff in England and Wales, a role created by Section 38(2) of the Police Reform Act 2002, which was given Royal Assent by Queen Elizabeth II on 24 July 2002. They are non-warranted but provided with a variety of police powers and the power of a constable in various instances by the forty-three territorial police forces in England and Wales and the British Transport Police (which is the only specialist police service to employ PCSOs).
British Transport PoliceLa British Transport Police (BTP) est une police spéciale britannique qui surveille les chemins de fer et les métros légers en Grande-Bretagne, fonction donnée dans le cadre d'une entente. Les officiers de la BTP n'ont aucune autorité en Irlande du Nord, où un service équivalent est offert par le Service de police d'Irlande du Nord. La privatisation et la fragmentation territoriale du système ferroviaire britannique en 1993 a obligé la BTP à se restructurer radicalement sans que pour autant elle perde son statut national et public.
Metropolitan PoliceLa Metropolitan Police ( , familièrement: The Met) est la force territoriale de police britannique responsable du Grand Londres à l'exception de la Cité de Londres, qui a sa propre force de police : City of London Police. La Met a également des responsabilités nationales significatives comme la coordination et la direction nationale en matière de contre-terrorisme et la protection des membres de la famille royale britannique ainsi que des membres du Cabinet.
