Mission Statement:Military Police Corps officers
lead units in performing the five major functions
associated with the branch -- area security; maneuver
and mobility support; police intelligence operations;
internment and resettlement; and law and order.
Crimes can happen anywhere and the Army is no exception. Fortunately, the Army has their own law enforcement and security specialists to handle crimes committed on Army property or that involve Army personnel. Military Police protect lives and property on Army bases by enforcing military laws and regulations, as well as controlling traffic, preventing crime and responding to emergencies. Military Police are primarily responsible for providing support to the battlefield by conducting area security, police intelligence operations, internment and resettlement, maneuver and mobility support, and law and order operations. Some of your duties as a member of the Military Police team may include:
Patrolling areas on foot, by car or by boat.
Interviewing witnesses, victims and suspects in the course of investigating
crimes.
Collecting fingerprints and other evidence.
Arresting and charging criminal suspects.
Training and working with police dogs.
Testifying in court.
Guarding entrances and conducting traffic control.
Job Training
Job training for Military Police consists of nine weeks of Basic Training, where you'll learn basic Soldiering skills, and eight to 12 weeks of Advanced Individual Training and on-the-job instruction, including practice in police methods. Part of this time is spent in the classroom and part in the field. Some of the skills you'll learn are:

Crime and accident investigation procedures.
Evidence collection procedures, including fingerprinting and suspect questioning.
Use of firearms.
Traffic and crowd control procedures.
