The Canadian Forces Military Police (CFMP) contribute to the effectiveness and readiness of the Canadian Forces (CF) and the Department of National Defence (DND) through the provision of professional police, security and operational support services worldwide.
Throughout the Canadian Forces, security and police functions were regrouped into three main categories:
(1) personnel security,
(2) police and custody and
(3) security of information and materiel.
CFMP serve on every base and station of the Canadian Forces in Canada, as well as with the various regiments and battalions.
CFMP also serve at Royal Military College of Canada, JTF 2 and Joint Task Force (North).
CFMP continue to serve in support of deployed operations, with a significant presence in Task Force Afghanistan. Outside Canada locations also include the NATO E3A component in Geilenkirchen, Germany, 45 Embassies and High Commissions with the Military Police Security Service (MPSS), CFSU Europe and Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe in Casteau, Belgium.
CFMP operate many units across Canada. Most of the units are "total force" meaning they employ both regular force and primary reserve members of the CF. All units are under the control of the Canadian Forces Military Police Group (CF MP Gp), headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario.

My M.P.s are often assisted on patrols by their trained German Shepherd (from the G.I. jOE Classic Collection - K9 Patrol Set - Deluxe Mission Gear). My M.P.s named their K9, 'Razor'.
