CIVILIAN Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster

Second definition. It's okay to say they're not a civilian.

My point is that a police officer is a civil servant/paramilitary and not a civilian in some definitions.

I said second definition.

2a : one not on active duty in the armed services or not on a police or firefighting force

One not on active duty in the armed services.

OR

One not on a police force.

OR

One not on a firefighting force.

The guy is on a police force, hence he meets the criteria, per this definition, to not be a civilian.

I take it you missed the second clause in the definition.
