“…Municipal forces present themselves as the real “proximity police” (or, community police), less law enforcement oriented and in closer connection to the public. However, research has demonstrated that municipal police are marked by a double orientation: hard policing on the one hand, based on repression and the fight against delinquency; and soft policing on the other, characterized by preventative surveillance and trust with the public (de Maillard and Mouhanna, 2017; Malochet, 2007: 40). As we will see, there is a growing push towards the former.…”

This paper examines ‘auxiliary’ police in three European countries and the extent to which they continue to present a pluralisation of public sector policing. Examining findings from existing empirical research, we will argue that despite different origins, systems of governance, formal powers and levels of centralisation, the police auxiliaries in England & Wales, France and The Netherlands have all experienced an overall trend towards becoming more ‘enforcement-orientated’. This unique comparative analysis measures each agency's powers, appearance, organisational dimensions and mandate and the associated drivers towards change, such as the politicisation of law and order, large-scale institutional transformations and professionalisation attempts. This analysis will have implications for pluralised policing scholarship as it questions the extent to which auxiliary officers provide a true alternative to the standard or national public policing mandate, which has historically highlighted the ‘law and order’ function of the police. It also highlights the lack of research on what ‘policing by government’ ( Loader, 2000 ) looks like in practice and the need for further comparative research with these auxiliary state policing actors.
