Ministry of Defence Police
The Ministry of Defence Police is a civilian force with jurisdiction over Ministry of Defence property and personnel across the UK — military bases, dockyards and defence sites. Officers can be armed as standard, which sets MDP apart from almost every territorial force.
Pay & applying
MDP sets its own pay scale, distinct from the Home Office national scale used by the 43 territorial forces, so we don't publish a pay table here. See MDP's own careers site for current figures.
