Auxiliary
Police Auxiliaries perform many vital front line and operational support roles within the police force. Frequently they are the first and major contact members of the public have with police. The Auxiliary scheme started in 1992
Auxiliaries do not undertake all of the training required for a Constable but instead specialise in a particular field such as call taking in the communications centre, front counter duties, watch house keeping, speed camera duties, and in a variety of specialist support roles within forensics, juvenile diversion, the training college, intelligence support and other sections. Auxiliaries were the same uniform with the addition of an identifying patch. Some Auxiliaries later undertake Constable training so they are not restricted in the work areas they can apply for.
One of the members from Squad One is now a Sergeant, who was recently transferred to Alice Springs. Sisters Sharmini Edwards (Squad 1) and Roshini Wilson both joined as Police Auxiliaries. Sharmini is now an AO3 after staying in uniform for around 5 years. Roshi joined in 1994 and is still in the job.

Public Service Personnel
Without the administrative and other support provided by the members of the public service working for Northern Territory Police the force would not be able to function. Public service members are integral parts of the team and have performed a vast range of services. The story of the NT Police is their story as much as is that of the sworn members however their contribution is often overlooked.
This section aims to highlight the vital role they have played over the years.
