Canadian Military Police Corps
During the early years of World War I, Regimental Police were the only police element in the Canadian Army. The situation was such that the 2nd Canadian Division made its brigades responsible for the provision of "Trench Police" to perform traffic control duties.
The Canadian Military Police Corps was formed during October 1917, with a total of 850 all ranks.
The CMPC school was formed at Ottawa on 1 June 1918, and closed ten months later on 11 March 1919.
The CMPC itself was disbanded on 30 June 1920.
