Editing Security police (section)

=== Australia ===
The [[RAAF]] Security Police is responsible for base security and policing the RAAF and they work closely with the [[Airfield Defence Guards]]. The Military Working Dog Unit also provides a further security function.

Most state police force in [[Law enforcement in Australia|Australia]] employs a team of officers known as ''Protective Services Officers'' (PSOs). Stationed in and around public or government buildings, these PSOs are armed (to varying degrees) and wear slightly different uniforms. They are also called upon by regular police officers if the need arises. They generally undergo training at the state police college and share many resources. Some police officers have used the PSO path as a stepping stone to their current roles.

In [[New South Wales]], an armed internal unit of the [[New South Wales Police Force]] is staffed by special constables who hold identical powers and immunities of police officers at the rank of constable. Special constables wear similar uniforms to police officers, carry arms and appointments and are issued warrant cards and badges. Special constables provide security services to select government and police complexes.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.policecareer.vic.gov.au/pso|title=Protective Services Officers}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.police.sa.gov.au/sapol/about_us/structure/security_and_emergency_management_service.jsp |title=Internet :: Security and Emergency Management Service :: SAPOL |access-date=2014-04-03 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407065012/http://www.police.sa.gov.au/sapol/about_us/structure/security_and_emergency_management_service.jsp |archive-date=2014-04-07 }}</ref>
