[quote=ford_guy,14115] When you joing a profession like law enforcement, it's always good to have a back-up plan in case something happens [quote]

You mean in case you get shot or injured in the line of duty?

In Britain part-time volunteer policemen are called Special Constables. They still have the same powers as regular police officers, but I don't think they recieve regular pay. Members of the Territoral Army (part-time soldiers) get paid for their time though.
