POTD: The Canadian Military Police
Photo Of The Day and a closer look at the Military Police who are sworn to uphold Canadian law and the Code of Service Discipline. With over 1,250 full-time members, they represent one of the largest police forces in Canada. From investigating cybercrimes and theft on military bases to protecting VIPs, conducting undercover operations, and providing aircraft security, the Canadian MPs deliver 24/7 policing, security, and detention services. They serve the Canadian Armed Forces both at home and on deployments around the world—including in conflict zones and disaster-stricken regions. The rifle above seems to be the C7A2 automatic rifle.
As a shooting instructor, I always advise against having anything touch the barrel - it can drastically change the point of impact even at short distances.
If you’re interested in a “dynamic and rewarding career” you can check out the Canadian MP’s homepage here: forces.ca/en/career/military-police
You can also check out the salary and benefits, which were quite a lot better than I expected.
