I am writing this as a project to help understand what it is a MP's role is. It will also be a good source of FAQ's, perhaps it will get stickied. If there is something here that is not completely accurate, please let me know, so I can update it.
Please keep in mind I am doing this for a project, as such, none of the information should be taken as factual. While possibly accurate, you are better off to check the Canadian Forces website, or talk with a recruiter.
Education
- What do I need to join the Military Police REG FORCE
As it stands now, a Diploma / Degree relating to Criminology or Police Foundations is a Requirement. These courses can range from 1 to 4 years long, and can cost from $13, 000 to $40, 000. Keep in mind, course is neccessarily better than another.

In order to join the MP reserve unit, you must meet the minimum requirments. You do not need to have a Police Foundations course, you only need to score high enough on the apptitude test.
Public Opinion on MP's
- Is it true most people do not like MP's?
This is not completely true. Like many of the things you do in life, it is these factors that will ultimatly determine if you are liked or not. Most people agree that it is not specifically the MP's that are unliked, it is actually who the person is. I belive the trade has been sterotyped, but this isn't without just cause. By entering the law enforcement field, you should assume that people will generally, not like you; most people don't like the person who has just given them a fine, ticket, or even arrested them. On the other hand, police men/women are well respected by others. As long as you maintain a professional attitude about what you do, you shouldn't encounter too many problems.
