Military Police

Military Police (MP) are a division of the armed forces charged with policing officers stationed at a military base and preventing criminal activity. Usually they just stand around wearing cool helmets. Whenever a crime takes place however, a higher ranking officer will usually summon one or more MPs to take the offender away until such time as they can be court martialed. Each branch of the United States armed forces utilizes a form of military police.
