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

They are not considered 'police' by the general populace.
* /Guardia di finanza/: a military organization, but depending from
the Ministry of Finance, with civil jurisdiction on financial matters.
What do you mean by "military organization'? (/Guardia di finanza)/
Are they under the command of the army/navy/air force?
Or is that the personnel structure is similar to the military (captains,
corporals, etc)
* /Corpo delle capitanerie di porto - Guardia costiera/: a military
organization, roughly comparable to the US Coast Guard.
More like the navy?
Or 'water police'?
