| During the Human-Covenant War, police forces were known to employ military weaponry for the purposes of assisting UNSC forces in the defense of their cities against the Covenant invasion. During the [[Battle of Mombasa]], NMPD officers working alongside the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] and [[ODST]] units deployed into the city employed [[M6C/SOCOM]] handguns, [[M90 shotgun]]s, [[M7S SMG]]s and [[MA5C assault rifle]]s among other weapons.{{Ref/Reuse|H3ODST}}

| ===Vehicles===
| |
| ====Mechs====
| |
| Law enforcement units were also known to employ the "Peacekeeper" variant of the [[HRUNTING Mark III (B) Cyclops|Cyclops]] exoskeleton for riot control purposes,<ref name="universe">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/cyclops ''Halo Waypoint'': Cyclops]</ref> with NMPD employing its own specialised "Sector 12" variant equipped with a riot shield.<ref>[https://www.megaconstrux.com/en-gb/worlds/halo/playsets/sector-12-police-cyclops-97326 ''Megabloks'' - SECTOR 12 POLICE CYCLOPS]</ref> Most units, however, would be destroyed in the war once pressed into active combat duty.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
