While MPs do not function as frontline combat troops, their duties regularly bring them into engagements with enemy forces.
'''Military police''', colloquially as '''MP'''s, are concerned with law enforcement on military property and concerning military personnel, installation security, close personal protection of senior military officers, management of prisoners of war, management of military prisons, traffic control, route signing and resupply route management. However, not all military police organizations are concerned with all of these. MPs are generally not frontline combat personnel, but their duties may bring them near the frontline.

==UNSC==
Most branches of the [[United Nations Space Command]] armed forces maintain their own military police forces, including the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], [[Army]], [[Navy]]<ref>'''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]''', ''page 112'' (''"Spartan [[Tedra Grant]].

The [[UNSC Marine Corps]] maintains its own military police, as does the [[UNSC Army]], used to guard military installations on [[Reach]] and [[Earth]], as well as [[UNSC High Command|other high priority installations]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 246''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 100'' (''"No one kept the Security Committee for the UNSC waiting.

[[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]] MPs formed a security detail for [[John-117]]'s testing of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V MJOLNIR Armor]] in August [[2552]].{{Ref/Reuse|tfor}}
It is unknown whether the [[UNSC Navy]] maintains its own MPs, though it is presumed that Marine MPs also function in coordination with the UNSC Navy. [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]] MPs formed a security detail for [[John-117]]'s testing of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V MJOLNIR Armor]].  


[[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V(MP)|The helmet]] used by the Beta-5 military police has also been adopted for use with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]], and is also used in conjunction with the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] and [[UNSC Army]] armor systems as the default enclosed helmet.{{Ref/Reuse|reach armory}}
The [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[Beta-5 Division]] also has its own military police force. [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V(MP)|The helmet]] used by the Beta-5 MP has also been adopted for use with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]], and is also used in conjunction with the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] and [[UNSC Army]] armor systems as the default enclosed helmet.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''Armory''</ref>
 
After the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[RAIDER-class Mjolnir]] became the unofficial standard for [[Spartan]]s assigned to military police duties.{{Ref/Reuse|H5}}
