civilianization
Shift to nonmilitary
Civilianization is the process of transferring functions from military or police personnel to civilian workers.
Police departments undergo civilianization when desk jobs, dispatch, and administrative roles shift to non-sworn staff, freeing officers for patrol duty.
The term also applies to military contexts: the civilianization of defense logistics.
The practice aims to reduce costs while letting trained personnel focus on core duties.
