I think the basic difference is police and military own the law(unless they lose the war and become “war criminals”) so they train to hunt people down, kick in doors and generally be on the offensive.
Civilians are only allowed to be on the defensive. So they usually train in “self defense”.
When countries train too many police and military in offensive tactics and then run out of work for them they usually have a lot of trained kidnappers and organized bandits.
Just my 2cents
