Work Environment
Military Police Officers are entitled to the same rights, privileges and protection under Canadian law, and operate as peace officers under the Criminal Code of Canada. They work routinely within the civilian criminal and military justice systems and are recognised as one of Canada’s largest police forces with over 1,250 full‑time members.
Officers provide around‑the‑clock service to the military community in Canada and abroad, including areas of armed conflict or natural disaster. While the majority of the work is performed indoors in an office setting, conditions vary depending on the nature and location of the services provided.
Entry Plans
All candidates who meet the minimum requirements will complete career orientation and an aptitude assessment at a Military Police Assessment Centre.
Direct Entry Options
Paid Education Options
If you already hold a university degree—preferably in a criminal justice‑related field—the CAF will determine if your background matches the criteria for direct placement into the required training program following basic training. Basic training and military officer qualification training are required before assignment.

After enrolment, candidates start 12‑week basic officer training at the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School in Saint‑Jean‑sur‑Richelieu, Quebec. Topics covered include general military knowledge, principles of leadership, CAF regulations and customs, basic weapons handling, and first aid. A rigorous physical fitness program is also a prerequisite for further training.
Following basic officer training, official second‑language training may be offered, ranging from two to nine months, depending on proficiency.
Common Army Phase
After basic training, officers attend the Infantry School at the Combat Training Centre in Gagetown, New Brunswick, where they build on leadership training and learn advanced weapons handling, fieldcraft, and section‑level tactics.
They then attend the six‑month Military Police Officer Qualification course in Borden, Ontario, which covers:
Military police patrol management
Police operations administration
Crime scene management supervision
Investigation and interview techniques
Investigation management
Police program administration
Security programs administration
Military police units in field operations command

They are paid during training and may volunteer for deployment on a military mission within or outside Canada.
Military Police Officers may also serve with the Royal Canadian Navy, the Canadian Army, or the Royal Canadian Air Force, typically leading teams at a Military Police Group within Canada.
