What I'd like to know is who the non-home office forces are who have also been supplied them.
The implication from the statement is that it's police forces rather than other groups like military or private forces.

My guess would be the non-regional constabularies like Civil Nuclear Constabulary, British Transport Police, Ports Police, MoD police (though I think those guys are technically the Army).

As far as I'm aware the MoD Police (MDP) or 'MoD Plod' are part of the Police. However, there are MoD Police also serving in one of the tri services, which are also MoD Plod, but only concern themselves with military issues and not 'civilian' issues. They regularly pass things over to the 'normal' Police Very confusing.........

In essence you have;

MDP = Police
RAF Police = Serving RAF personnel
Army Police = Serving Army "
Navy Police = Serving Navy "
