The Civil Guard is a auxilliary volunteers force operated by the
Community and Civil Guard Wing of Israel Police. Their flag is
still in use but it is replaced nowadays by a new logo so it will
represent the Community and Civil Guard Wing as whole and not
only the Civil Guard itself.
Dov Gutterman, 19 August and 6 October 2001
Community and Civil Guard Wing of Israel Police was
established in 1999 and unite the former Community Policing Unit
of the GHQ (est. 1995) and the Civil Guard (est. 1974).
The wing emblem can be
seen at www.police.gov.il.
The Civil Guard was established as as auxillary force in order to
aid th police against. The volunteers had very limited authority
while in duty and were used in only in petrolling their
nighbourhoods. However, during the 1980s, the police start to use
those units also in crime prevention and traffic control. This
brought to a chnge in the legislation and the establishements of
"special units" whose volunteers had almost full police
authority while in duty. Today there are "special
units" in almost all police aspects.
