from
Wikipedia
As of today, the Civil Guard is a division in the " Police and Community " branch of the Israel Police.
The Civil Guard is managed and supported by the police which provide weapons, equipment, training and police officers who command local Civil Guard bases ( each community has one or more Civil Guard bases ).
Although the Civil Guard is operated by the police, its manpower consists mainly of civilian volunteers.
Members are trained to provide the initial response to a security situation until the police arrive.
Most Civil Guard volunteers are armed with M1 Carbines and personal handguns ( if the member has a civilian gun license ).
Equipment generally consists of a fluorescent yellow police vest, flashlight, radio, firearm, handcuffs and whatever else may be required particular to the assignment.
Most volunteers manage about one shift a week ( 2 to 4 + hours ), while the minimum requirement is 12 hours a month.
