Do Law Enforcement Agencies Like it When they See that you have been a MP (Military Police) in the Army?

Question

I have heard that they do and that they don't?

Answer 1

It would be qualifying experience for a police job, but some police departments may consider it a drawback while others would view it as desirable.

Answer 2

It depends on the location.  Some places truly do like it, while others don't.  Just find a place that appreciates it.

Answer 3

I would think that anyone who's been in the military already has a good degree of experience with firearms and would be considered favorably.  Many law enforcement agencies (depending on the city) require a college degree as well.  The city I live in now doesn't require a degree, but the city I moved from did.  

Answer 4

In my experience they usually work off of a point type system and every piece of information you provide them has a certain 'weight' of points and generally MP experience gives a positive point value.  However if you are a crack dealer that might bring your points down..kidding.

Answer 5

YES, if you are referring to applying for a job with a LEA, being an MP in the Army gives you a bit of edge.  That is as you were a well trained MP and your NCOERs support your training and knowledge.  

Nothing come easy though!

Answer 6

well i'm sure they so because mp is like law ya no

Answer 7

I have never heard of any agency that didn't welcome military members to their force, and MP's are no different. All of the agencies I'm aware of love former military members.
