[QUOTE="wjlane, post: 10817531, member: 33949"] My estimation does have foundation. There is no difference between military police and sworn LEOs when it comes to dealing with the potential situations they have been trained to encounter while on duty. The difference is in the oath each takes and the authority from where it derives. Civilian LEOs also have greater extension of their police authority where as in the military, it's pretty much a day job. Outside of that, a military and civilian officer respond to the same types of calls and accept the same types of risks. Everywhere I have been over the last 22 years, I have had the opportunity to work and train with several civilian law enforcement agencies at the city, state, federal, and international level. There aren't many civilian LEOs that serve as an active liaison with a military police agency. As a result, I have been able to estimate the correlation and there isn't much difference when it comes to performing law and order functions. Many current and former military police have varying degrees of experience and exposure depending on what service they were in and where they've been stationed. Many of the larger bases, such as my current station at Fort Bragg, offer daily occurances of assaults, DUIs, domestic violence, larcenies, etc., along with the occasional rape, homicide, robbery, etc. The base covers 251 square miles and has a population of more than 40,000 people that live on the base (soon to be more than 60,000 due to BRAC). On average, there are more than one million people conducting business on Fort Bragg during the business week, the majority of which are civilians. In fact, most of the crimes committed on Bragg are done so by civilians. The departmental structure is no different than that of a civilian department (SRT, Traffic, Drug Suppression Team, Detectives, SROs, Game Wardens, Bike Patrol, etc.) There are many small civilian departments out there that don't have as much exposure to these crimes as a larger military base. I understand where you're coming from in regards to your impression of military police, but I don't think you can make a generalized comparison with a civilian LEO. Perhaps your assessment of military police operations is based on outdated information. As I stated earlier, I have experience in working with many civilian agencies, on many levels and unless a civilian LEO can say the same about the military, I would say their estimation has no practical foundation.
