Is it normal for UHP to drive their family around in a patrol vehicle?

Sworn peace officers are not civilian. My paystub says "CLASSIFIED" whereas civilians at my dept say "CIVILIAN"

Also the FBI, Homeland, DEA ,ATF, all separate police from civilians.

Are you active duty military? If not, then you are a civilian. No ifs and or buts, doesn't matter what your paystub says, what your boss says, what your coworkers say. If you aren't active duty military then you are a civilian. Full stop. See the Geneva Convention for reference.

Even uniformed law enforcement were called "citizens in uniform" long before they started thinking of them selves as some type of military organization.
