	Shielded from Justice: New York: Civil Lawsuits
		In 1984, the city agreed to pay into a police union "civil legal defense fund." It now pays $75 per year for each officer in the union, meaning that taxpayers may be charged three times for officers who commit abuses: for their legal defense, for their salaries, and for civil settlements or jury awards.
		Juries in civil cases are increasingly willing to believe plaintiffs seeking damages (leading to settlements by the city and large awards when cases do go to trial); and, in separate criminal cases against civilians, the public is increasingly unwilling to believe the police.
		Moreover, the civil suits filed represent just a portion of allegations of police misconduct made by individuals seeking legal representation, since many lawyers who represent victims in police misconduct suits are overwhelmed with requests for help and will only pursue the strongest cases involving the victim's hospitalization or death.

	Civil police - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A civil police force is a police force comprised of civilians and not military personnel.
		In the hierarchy of a government, such a force would typically come under the purview of an umbrella organization such as a Home Office, a Department of Public Safety, or an Interior Ministry as opposed to being found amongst the departments of an army or other armed forces.
		Civil police agencies may be organized and trained on military lines (often called a constabulary, although that term may also be used for non-paramilitary forces), or they may be strictly non-military type organizations, often with a paramilitary unit (SWAT or similar).
