Selected

policia nacional (regional) / carabineros

Aunque el documento sea para España, quizás una de éstas sea buena opción, ya que comunica la idea de una fuerza policiaca especial; pues, otra opción puede ser "policia especial" :-)

constabulary (ken-stàb´ye-lèr´ê) noun

Cambridgeshire Constabulary is the Home Office police force in England responsible for policing the ceremonial county of Cambridgeshire.

The force is divided into three basic command units (BCUs), these being Peterborough (Northern), Huntingdonshire (Central) and Cambridge (Southern). Force headquarters is situated at Hinchingbrooke Park on the outskirts of Huntingdon.

Ya que no se trata de una fuerza policiaca nacional, sugiero "policia regional" para evitar las comparaciones entre lo que es un "county" (que puede comprender varias ciudades) y una "comunidad (autónoma)" (ya que encontrar divisiones políticas equivalentes puede ser muy difícil, si no imposible).

seguridad pública

...pero depende del contexto específico, ¿no puedes poner la frase entera... y otra frase con "police"? Sin ella, ni sabemos si es adjectivo o sustantivo en tu texto.
