I am looking forward to being a civilian again, excited actually! !
Unless your were Armed Forces LE , you have always been a
civilian as LEO.
- LE officer is a sworn civilian.
- Non-military cops are civilians as they are not subject
to the provisions of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
- Cops get fired just like regular civilians do, they
don't get court-martialed.
- Cops go to prison like regular civilians do, they
don't go to the brig.
- Cops face a jury of peers composed of 12 members
of the general public, just like regular civilians do.
- Cops can leave the civil service at any time and for any reason
just like regular civilians can and do.
Active duty combatants (non-civilians) cannot.
- A civilian under the laws of war is a person who is not
a member of his or her countrys armed forces.
