It may count as general 'police experience' but in a civilian agency it does not count for civil service seniority or time-in-grade for rank advancement. If you are employed by some departments or agencies you may be allowed to apply your military time in service to your pension benefits. You will need to research that with any agency you might be interested in joining.

Uniformed law enforcement agencies are paramilitary organizations, and generally favor their officers to have military bearing or "command presence."
