Does military police officer get paid as much as a regular police officer?

Question

I want to join the MP However i don't know how much they get paid.

Answer 1

Well my guess is that a that a military personnel would get paid more than a civilian. Plus you get living and housing bonuses. So an MP gets more then a civilian police officer.

Answer 2

He gets paid by his rank, pvt, sgt, etc

Answer 3

In every branch of the military it doesn't matter what your job is, you get paid based on your pay-grade, which corresponds to rank.

Answer 4

MP's get paid much less since they are in the Armed Forces, but its a great way to serve your country, get experience, and makes it much easier t be a cop when you get out.

Answer 5

you are pretty much payed by your rank. you can get paid for for some other things such as if you have a family or are living off base but it usually all depends on your rank

Answer 6

MP is the job. Look at military base pay in relation to rank. You start off as an E-1 and will probably make E-4 by your third or fourth year.
