The location where the crime actually occurred determines the answer. If the offense occurred on a military installation, primary jurisdiction would be with the military investigators. If the crime took place anywhere else except on a military installation, the primary jurisdiction would lie with the civil police. They do, of course, operate cooperatively when members of the military are involved in the crime and often times each rely on the expertise of the other in certain specialties. NOTE: TV shows like NCIS or JAG are highly fictionalized, and the military investigators do not become 'primary' on any case occurring outside their jurisdiction regardless of whether the victim/perpetrator is a military member or not.

What is a civil investigation?

A civil investigation is an investigation related to a civil matter. A civil matter is a court action (or pending court action) that is not criminal in nature. An investigation related to the care of a child is a civil investigation if the opposing parent is trying to prove that their ex-spouse is not taking good care of the child. A criminal investigation would be if the police were investigating a complaint of child abuse which resulted in the harm, or potential harm, of the child. To put it simply, a civil investigation is any investigation that is not an investigation of a crime.


What is the difference between a civil police car and a military police car?

Here are opinions and answers from FAQ Farmers: * Currently, the USAF leases their cars, and Chevy won the contract. So, a Chevy Impala civilian police car and a Chevy Impala USAF patrol car are pretty much the same. I would expect the civilian cars to be more customized after ordering though. * The difference is a civil police car is used by local police agencies that deal with day-to-day crime, while a military police car is used by the military to police military establishments. The biggest difference is that military work on a different radio frequency than a civil police department and the military does not engage in high speed chases that civil police do.

The difference between a civil server and the police are police of powers on and off duty where as civil servers such as security guards and rent a cops things of that nature have power only when they are on duty.

So usually police officers are civil servants.
