Which describes a non-statutory uniformed protective service?

• A. St John Ambulance
• B. The Police
• C. Local council housing
• D. British Gas

Answer: (A)

This question tests understanding of what counts as a non-statutory uniformed protective service. A non-statutory service is not created or mandated by law, but it can still provide protective roles and wear a uniform. St John Ambulance fits because it is a charitable, voluntary organization that trains and deploys first aid responders who wear uniforms and assist in emergencies and at events. It operates independently of statute, funded by donations and services rather than by government mandate. The Police, by contrast, are established by statute and funded as a core governmentProtective service. Local council housing is about providing housing and services, not a protective, uniformed response function. British Gas is a private utility provider, not a protective service at all.
