'''Military police''' ('''MPs''') are concerned with security operations.<ref name="tfor">'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 246''</ref> Their duties include defending and policing [[Military base|military installations]], providing security in order to ensure freedom of movement for other military units during combat operations, management of [[Prisoner of war|prisoners of war]], controlling access to highly sensitive areas,<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 100'' (''"No one kept the Security Committee for the UNSC waiting. A pair of MPs snapped to as he approached the set of double doors. They didn't salute, and their hands rested on their holstered sidearms. They stared straight ahead, but Wagner knew that if he twitched the wrong way he'd be shot first and questioned later."'')</ref> and close personal protection of senior military officers. While MPs do not function as frontline combat troops, their duties regularly bring them into engagements with enemy forces.

==Overview==
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]]. Background: UNSC Navy \\ Military Police."'')</ref> and the [[Spartan Operations|Spartans]].<ref name="H5">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''' ''- Armory description''</ref> The [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[Beta-5 Division]] also has its own military police force.<ref name="reach armory">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''Armory''</ref> In the Army, the [[UNSC Army Security Forces]] provide military policing functions.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=61}}

[[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}}

[[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}}

After the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[RAIDER-class Mjolnir]] became the unofficial standard for [[Spartan]]s assigned to military police duties.{{Ref/Reuse|H5}}

In Halo 3 The secutiry permutation could be the spartan versions of MPs, either protecting important personel (people like Dr. Halsey) or protecting  instalations (although unknown secutiy spartans may have been at castle base or even on board one of the 300 geo-sync platforms)
