Talk:Military Police Corps (United States)

message: Although it looks they are not part of the Military Police Corps, several units or agencies like Pentagon Force Protection Agency, Master-at-arms or Naval Criminal Investigative Service perform law enforcement or police tasks. Should these articles be in :Category:Military Police Corps or :Category:United States military police, or in a new category (wider than :Category:Military Police Corps) like :Category:US Military law enforcement?

replies: text: I'd like to see the Marine's included back in the article.  There's a ghost link to a non-existent USMC MP wiki, but unless someone is willing to put in the effort to create that page, we should put a paragraph or two here.  As stated above, USMC MPs go through the same school as US Army MPs... and in some cases, you could switch that statement around and say that Army MPs get training from Marine MPs.  A Marine MP who later joins the Army is automatically qualified as an MP.  The uniform is slightly different, but the two groups of MPs have more in common with each other than they do with many MOS in their respective branches. Canute (talk) 20:47, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

text: *The Marines absolutely should not be included as a see also. The US Army MP Corps is a branch within the US Army. Where other branches train etc is immaterial. And while they attend school at the Army MP school, it's not the identical course. Similarly, various courses are taught at other branches, K9 and crash investigation being taught at Lackland AFB for example. Niteshift36 (talk) 23:49, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other military polices 

message: I appreciate the added info on heraldry, but is the actual number of the thread really something we want? Maybe I'm off base, but I'd like to hear some other opinions. Niteshift36 (talk) 12:46, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Yarn colors? 

message: I think the regimental crest should be at the top of the article. The vast majority of MP's (officer or enlisted) are never issued a badge during their entire term of service. Some go their entire term and never even see one. But everyone holding the MOS gets a regimental crest. Niteshift36 (talk) 06:17, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I was just thinking of something in the opposite direction.  The coat of arms, insignia, etc., are all pictured in the top info box.  Why not move these down to the Heraldic Items section?  There are currently no pictures in that section, and having the pictures there would give a nice visual to match the descriptions.  I'll make the change; let me know if you hate it.  Canute (talk) 18:09, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: *While we're at it.....the "branch plaque". The article calls it "rare". Um, no. Plenty of places sell them. Niteshift36 (talk) 21:06, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Badge at top of the article. 

message: This page is a real mess.  The links are broken. The pics are jumbled.  There are units that are mislabeled.  Someone with some Wiki editing skills needs to do a radical overhaul.(anyone can edit wiki)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.227.27.161 (talk) 21:53, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clean Up 

message: There is no mention of the U.S. Army Military Police School ever being located at Fort McClellan, Alabama in this page. I think it's important to make the distinction due to all the MP's that are coming down with strange illnesses such as cancer, skin problems, bone problems and digestive problems. Fort McClellan has been called the "the most toxic site in the U.S." by the E.P.A. For that reason, I think it's important to at least discuss adding Fort McClellan's long history in the MP Corps. It will help serve as a guide, or breadcrumbs if you will, to those seeking information pertaining to Fort Mac and it's toxic exposure to MP's (for decades). It's relevant whether we like it or not.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.227.187.181 (talk) 01:19, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fort McClellan and Toxic Exposure 

message: Is there any information about the size of the corps? This is lacking here – unlike similar articles like US Army etc. Though I couldn't find anything useful in this respect on the web. Who can help?--Hubon (talk) 16:22, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Size? 

message: The year 1778, when the first Provost corps was established by Congress, is mentioned on the badge in a Roman numeral. Can that be worked into the Revolutionary War history? Thanks, knoodelhed (talk) 06:21, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

message: Hi , why did you merge Special reaction team into the Army Military Police Corps (United States) article. The USMC and USAF also have Special Reaction Teams. Regards, Melbguy05 (talk) 12:49, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Did you read the edit summaries? Because (a) it was not a agency or describing a specific unit - only a task according to the MP Manual, thus the Army MP Corps is the technically-controlling authority and source of all definitive knowledge; (b) because the article was tiny and it would have more context at the Army MP Corps article. If it had been 10,000 I would have left it alone, but at 2,000 it makes better sense being part of a larger article. The USMC and USAF angles can be handled with the redirect, unless somebody wants to add large amounts more text.  Buckshot06 (talk) 21:13, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
