Hey guys
First post. Just introducing myself. I'm a 7 year reserve MCpl pursuing a career in law enforcement. Got deferred from my first choice home town civy police force (SHOCKING, I KNOW) so thinking I might try a CT to RegF MP NCM. I'm a university grad (BA double major Soci/Poli Sci) and fairly involved with the reserves and have life experience. I'm going to nitpick the forums and hook with up a buddy of mine who's been an MP for a while now and pick his brains. If I can't find answers to my other questions I'll turn here.

Decisions ref suitable/unsuitable were made before the staff left. From there the rankings are done by the PSO staff, providing the rest of the applicant's file is complete. We've always said it could be 6-8 weeks before people are notified but given the Christmas break it could take a bit longer.
Hello Guys!
I have applied to the Military Police Officer trade and since then was looking for more insights into the profession as a whole. Even though the recruiters provided me with the basic information I would be very interested in knowing from the current Military Police Officers of what the trade is all about? I understand that Military Police Officer do administrative work mainly. I have a degree in computer engineering and I thought that I can eventually use it to specialize in Cyber Security and Investigations. It would be very helpful if some current Military Police Officers could answer few of my questions.
Thanks in advance!
1. Many people mention that the Military Police Officers usually lead a MP platoon. I understand that it is one of the postings that the MPOs get. Or is this the type of job most MPOs do?
2. I understand that all Canadian forces members move every 2-3 years usually. I was also told that in some trades you stay in one place for a long time and the move is not that often. How does it work with the MPOs?
3. Do MPOs get deployed often?
4. I understand that most of the MPOs work is administrative. Do they do carry a badge like the MP? Do they do investigations once in a while?

Hi, I never meant that. Just thought of raising the questions in few ongoing discussions such that people who are already following a related topic would answer as well. Just to reach up to more people. Never meant to spam. I apologize if it looked so..

I take it you're applying Reg Force? If so, please be aware that your degree will cause this to be an uphill battle for you as it is not one of our preferred degrees. MPO is exceptionally competitive as the numbers accepted as DEO are counted in the single digits most years.samuraai2 said:
Do you mean a field Platoon, which work with the CMBGs? If so, there are only a 6 x hard MPO positions there (1 x Snr Capt, 1 x Lt/Jnr Capt) and it is fair to say most MPO will not spend time with a Field Pl.
It all depends. If your initial positing is to a place like Shilo, Bagotville or Wainwright, you will move fairly soon after (3-4 years). If you hit a place like Ottawa...a recently retired former CFPM openly boasted he stayed put in Ottawa for 22 years in his retirement message.
Again, it depends. On missions of any real size, MPO will deploy with it. Smaller missions can deploy with a WO in charge. As with postings, some get tagged multiple times, others are running around with none and are quite happy about that.
Yes, MPO are credentialed, it is required to exercise the oversight function of MP. Unless there are special circumstances, MPO will not conduct investigations.
