As described, it sounds a lot like the Defence Forces here....
An army, technically. But at the same time a specific duty of the DF is to assist the civil power. They've done everything from disaster relief, bomb disposal, prisoner escort, prison guarding and cash in transit escort, up to garbage pickup, and replacement for striking bus services. Or Defence Forces are often called upon as ambassadors, either through crosstraining, or the occasional trade-mission or naval visit. They also regularly handle peacekeeping missions under a UN flag. The UN-issued medals have the UN symbol on the face, with 'In the Service of Peace' inscribed on the back of them, and various ribbon colours indicating the individual UN mission involved.
