Paramilitary forces
The Cottish paramilitary forces consist of the Border Police and the Coast Guard. The Federal Police can be considered a paramilitary organization, but does not have a role in the military defense of Cotland.
Border Police
The task of the Border Police is to maintain Cottish sovereignty at the borders of Cotland. The men in these outfits are all volunteers from the Federal and local police branches, and have minimum six years experience as a normal police officer. The Border Police soldiers are trained for a further two years at the various Police Academies before they are allowed to join the operational forces. The Border Police soldiers are bound by contract to remain in the force for at least seven years after completion of the Academy programme.
The Border Police use M-4A1 carbines and Para Ordnance P14-45 pistols. Occationally you will find Border Police soldiers carrying M-14 rifles instead of the M-4A1 carbines. Those are the sharpshooters, who will place a 7,62mm round with scaringly accuracy into the body of someone who attempt to run away from the Border Police (and look like they manage to do so) after violating the borders. The Border Police have carte blancé when it comes to killing anyone who violate the borders, though it is advised to bring the people in for questioning. For this, the Border Police have helicopters which take the detainees to a base, and skilled interrogators at the base.

It takes on average eight months for an enlisted to get to a ship or station after they enter basic training, and an average four years for an officer to manage the same thing.
