Does the Air Corps have its own police unit like the RAF
-

Yes -
and are they better looking than the
PA's we have in the Army
I suppose they cant be worse looking -big smile-Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.Comment

Do they have their own version of a warrant card?Comment

The AC MPs are a recent addition, they used to be Army MPs on attachment.Comment

I would be interested in understanding what, if anything, is different between the Air Corps Police and the Army MP in terms of uniform and command. RAF Police wear a white hat and are know as snowdrops. They also wear an RAFP armband in RAF blue uniform and not MP.
The RAF Police is a completely separate organisation from the Royal Military Police of the Army with its own Provost Marshal reporting into the air force chain of command.
Where could I find a photo of Air Corps PoliceComment

The armband is only now worn on the dress No 1's. They used to wear the No 2 armband years ago only becuase they had black rain coats with no markings. :wink:Originally posted by BrenGun View PostComment

Well, in DPM dress, the only differences in uniform are:Originally posted by BrenGun View Post
1. Rank markings (Air Corps specific)
- see www.bailerweb.com for details on these...
2. Air Corps badge appropriate to rank on the red beret
- officers have a different pattern badge to enlisted ranks
Have never seen an Air Corps MP in dress uniform.
Would imagine it's Air Corps uniform with red band on peak cap, at least this is
how the Naval Servive MPs look
The MP brassard is common across all 3 services
In the Defence Forces, the CO of the Bde MP Coy is an APM.
I imagine that the same applies to the CO of the Air Corps MP Sqn (?)Last edited by Truck Driver; 13 January 2009, 22:01."Well, stone me!

Yes there are not Assistant Provost Marshals (APMs) in the AC & NS. There is a thread on the board about it somewhere.Comment
