Restructure

This page should probably be structured more like the Highway patrol page. Having one blurb about Ausiliary Police in New Jersey when the article starts in Mayalasia seems a to be a little all over the place. Anyone have any qualms about this?cprockhill 22:37, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Well the article does seem tipped with the overload of American information. Perhaps the information could be reserved into one section or an informed person could revap existing sections to match the over-bloated American section. MasteroftheWord (talk) 04:02, 16 July 2009 (UTC)


Being a former Reserve Officer in California, I suggest the entire USA section be revamped into one section. Trying to list individual police agencies that have Reserves, well a stat I read said over %90 of American Police agencies have a Reserve unit of some sort.

Every Reserve program has the following: Initial training up to the full academy, badges, uniforms, and the normal police weapons such as firearms (with some exceptions) batons, Mace, etc. In fact there is no difference between a on duty reserve officer and a regular officer. Some are paid, but most are unpaid volunteers. Maybe list a few as examples but there really is no reason to list them all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.181.233.77 (talk) 01:23, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

A Page Redo

It is agreed that this general section should be redone. Perhaps listing links by state would be more appropriate. At least then there would not be random departments being listed in an unorganized manner. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.11.69.33 (talk) 21:46, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

external links

individual Police forces do not need external links; if they are important enough to be mentioned in the article there will be references in that section, one of which which would necessarily be to their web site. If not important enough for that, they shouldn't be linked here at all. I am accordingly moving the appropriate ones here to references and deleting the others. WP:NOTDIR | Wikipedia is not a directory]]. (And if they are notable enough to have separate articles, that article should have an E to the site, but only that article. )

As for the listing of individual police forces in the article, there needs to be some justification , either as particularly important but not worth a separate article, or as representative. I very much question the nJ ones, for example. DGG ( talk ) 17:34, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

“...also called special police...”

Anyone else take issue with that opening line?

Just speaking from personal experience, ‘special police’ and ‘auxiliary police’ are two separate things, and one is rarely referred to as the other.

‘Special police’ is the term usually used to describe individuals with police powers that aren’t derived from the ‘normal’ source of police authority. Security companies granted police powers, that sort of thing. It also describes agencies that have ‘specialized’ jurisdiction, I.e. agencies protecting campuses (hospitals, schools, etc), certain agents of non-LE governmental agencies that need arrest authority, etc.

‘Auxiliary police’ typically refers to units that assist and support a ‘parent’ agency or a larger partner agency.

I would advocate removing this line. Thoughts? MWFwiki (talk) 07:56, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
