Paramilitary
organized force, possibly armed, other than the regular military / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paramilitary describes forces which are organised as military forces, but are not part of the Armed Forces. Examples of such forces are police forces guarding the borders of a country. There are paramilitary groups that are official (run by a country), and others that are not.
The name comes from Greek para (which means beside) and Latin miles (which means soldier).
