This arrangement has been achieved by formal agreement between those provinces and municipalities and

5250-514: The terms military police , provost , security forces , and gendarmerie vary from country to country. Non-military law enforcement agencies are sometimes referred to as civilian police , but usually only in contexts where they need to be distinguished from military police.
