<p>In Italy there are five main, state-wide, police corps:</p>
<ul>
<li><i>Polizia di Stato</i>: a civil organization with civil
jurisdiction (<i>with several different branches dealing with
specific activities</i>).</li>
<li><i>Carabinieri</i>: a military branch with military
jurisdiction, but also civil jurisdiction.</li>
<li><i>Polizia penitenziaria</i>: a civil organization handling
prisons, but with also other civil jurisdictions.</li>

In the UK these are not police officers and their powers are only
while 'acting as a prison officer' i.e. in relation to prisoners. <br>

They are not considered 'police' by the general populace. <br>

What do you mean by "military organization'? (<i>Guardia di finanza)</i><br>
Are they under the command of the army/navy/air force? <br>
Or is that the personnel structure is similar to the military
(captains, corporals, etc)<br>

<p> More like the navy? <br>
</p>
<p>Or 'water police'? <br>
