Police force - Keisatsugun (English spelling) constabulary force

Japanese: 警察軍 - けいさつぐん(英語表記)constabulary force
Police force - Keisatsugun (English spelling) constabulary force
An armed police force organized like an army and with military characteristics, but separate from the regular army. Usually under the jurisdiction of civilian authorities, its main duties are domestic security and anti-terrorism measures, but in times of war it may also support the military in combat operations. Typical examples are the police forces of Latin American countries under Spanish rule and the Philippines. As of 1981, Chile has a national armed police force, the Calabineros, of 27,000 personnel equipped with armored transport vehicles and aircraft, while Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Peru also have police and security forces of 3,000 to 20,000 personnel each.

軍隊に準じて組織され,軍隊的特徴を持つが,正規軍とは別個の武装した警察集団。通常,文民官庁の管轄下にあり,国内治安,テロ対策などに当たるのを主任務とするが,戦時には軍隊を支援して戦闘行動を行うこともある。スペインの支配下にあった中南米諸国やフィリピンの警察軍が典型である。1981年現在,チリは装甲輸送車,航空機を持つ2万7000人の国家武装警察隊Calabinerosを有し,アルゼンチン,ボリビア,コロンビア,エクアドル,パラグアイ,ペルーなども各3000人から2万人の警察軍,保安軍を持つ。
