"Police and civilians" needs to be corrected, police are by definition civilians, as they are not members of the armed services. 2600:1700:F250:C520:4CD0:788B:3B81:C729 (talk) 23:28, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: From our page on Civilian: In general, a civilian is "a person who is not a member of the police, the armed forces, or a fire department". – Muboshgu (talk) 23:31, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"In colloquial usage, the term is sometimes used to distinguish non-military law enforcement officers and (in the US) firefighters from support staff or the general public. Regardless, such members are civilians - not military personnel - and are bound by municipal; civil and criminal law to the same extent as other members of the public."

Police should not be referred to as "civilians" in an encyclopedia. 162.229.187.147 (talk) 02:52, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Citation # 14 needs to be either removed or mended because it does not lead to any article. The sentence leading to the citation should be removed as well. 2600:8801:9600:5F:ED15:C7FC:3992:129 (talk) 17:42, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: The citation also includes an archive link ([1]), so it is still valid. Pupsterlove02 talk • contribs 17:56, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's also unclear what "sentence leading to the citation" you mean, since the citation is used 6 times. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:56, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
