Safety, Security And Stability
Navy MPs ensure the safety, security and stability of military life while Base Housing provides an ideal environment for families to grow, live and thrive. Close-knit communities count on the MPs to prevent and investigate crimes, to ensure that the base is safe and to protect their loved ones, both in the field and at home. Your children will be able to attend top-notch schools in a safe environment, regardless of your duty station and your family will enjoy the peace of mind that comes with living in a traditional community.
On the job, MPs file reports and collect evidence and fingerprints, interview suspects, victims and witnesses, provide supply, transport and traffic security and conduct search and rescue operations. You will gain knowledge in military and civilian law and jurisdiction and law enforcement procedures, including take-down techniques and restraint methods.
Wanted: Good Minds, Good Bodies, Good Hearts
Military police are faced with difficult decisions every day. Therefore, only individuals with personal integrity, self-control and physical stamina are encouraged to apply. You must be able to handle yourself and others with decorum and diplomacy at all times and be able to make snap decisions that will protect everyone involved. As the member of the military police team, you will be required to adapt to the situation as changes occur and be able to recall and report everything you have observed.
Very often, in situations requiring police intervention, people are upset, frightened or angry. It is up to you, as the MP, to diffuse potentially dangerous situations before they get out of hand and to know how to react if things get out of control. Your military police training will provide you with those skills and much more.
Skills That Will Serve You As Well As The Community
As you develop your career as a military police officer, you will discover that what you are learning can serve you in every area of your life. Professionally, you can transfer those skills to provide federal, state, county or city police needs, and you can work for airports, industry and private individuals with security issues. Your negotiation skills will assist you in coming out on top in many personal and professional encounters, as you assist others in seeing the rational and realistic possibilities.
