Training for Navy Police Officers
While a person may enlist with aspirations of becoming a US Navy or National Guard Police Officer, it is during their first few weeks of training, supervisors will determine which individuals qualify for a police career and which individuals should seek other jobs within the military. In addition to 9 weeks of basic training, military policemen require an additional 12 or more weeks of additional training, that focuses not only on field experience but also on classroom training.
US Navy Police Positions
Military police officers patrol and guard entrance to military bases, travel with military road patrols and serve as aerial surveillance during aerial transportation. Naval police conduct shore patrols along US water borders. Many military police officers, including National Guard Military Police officers, perform their duties on foot, whether guarding the entrance to an area, directing visitors at military installations or serving on the main battleground. Obtaining the job of a military policeman also prepares the individual for a civilian law enforcement career if they should choose to leave the military.
