Differences of Regimental Police (RP)/ Military Police (MP)?
-
i know rp is regimental police, and mp is military police, but whats the diff?
i went to mindef and saw both rp n mp doing guard duty, but the mp's armband looks more evil n sinister, black one
whats the diff, what do they do? -
To my knowledge (for further enquiries, consult NathanG5)
RP is normally at the guardroom, checking passes for illegal entry and exit ala security guards.
MP meanwhile do further routine checks around the island to camps or uniformed personnel if they violate the SAF codes of conduct.
RPs wear RP armband in smart 4 uniform. MPs wear their own set of old skool uniform

RP is the very common one u see everyday....
Their job is to guard mainly at the frontgate & inspect bags check uniform for uniform personnel & guide ppl to varous department in camp. MP job is to arrest personnel who AWOL(Absent Without Official Leave) or any chargable offences that SAF personnel make. MP also comes under Provost.....

simple..RP sphere of responsibility is only in base or camp..Originally posted by firered:i know rp is regimental police, and mp is military police, but whats the diff?

MP is island wide...
but i think for MINDEF case is different..both RP n MP holding the same responsibility..but the RP will be strictly in the guardhouse changing pass..while the MP outside standing guard n look more garang(or vice versus)..n MP in MINDEF have GOH duty also...their sphere of power include outside of MINDEF... -

but RP can arrest anyone in camp or base also(with authorisation).. -
so in short an RP only has power when hes in a camp - the camp he is an RP of, whereas an MP has power anywhere and everywhere!

actually not only military personnel....any civilian who disrupts any military ops and causes trouble can be arrested too,which is seldom the case...it's stated in chapter 295 of the military law.Originally posted by wuming78:everywhere but confined to military personnel lor... tts the caveat -
oh yah.. but we never see ppl who anyhow wear no. 4 outside as though its a fashion statement being arrested.Originally posted by trafox10:actually not only military personnel....any civilian who disrupts any military ops and causes trouble can be arrested too,which is seldom the case...it's stated in chapter 295 of the military law. -
