Are police staff civil servants

Answer 1

The police and firefighters who are employed by a municipality, state, or federal government agency, are civil servants. Those who work for a non-governmental agency such as university or railroad police, or airport firefighters, may be employees of a private firm or may be government employees provided to the private firm under a government contract.

Answer 2

Yes, police are considered civil servants. Law enforcement is a civil service for the people and the government. Notice the motto, "To serve and protect". However, other jurisdictions may not consider police civil servants, but here in NY they are. One may presume reasonably that they are.

The military, like the police, are another form of civil service. The armed forces serve the country from foreign threat.
