Military Police Corps (Israel) - Insignia

Insignia

The Israeli Military Police wears a blue beret, introduced in 1998, and its symbol is a flame. On the beret, the flame is surrounded with a banner-like curve, which says Heil HaMishtara HaTzva'it (military police corps). The military police pin image consists of blue bricks and the letters Mem and Tzadik (Mishtara Tzva'it, i.e. Military Police).

The shoulder insignia varies based on the soldier's position, although it is always on a blue and red background (See Shoulder insignia below).

Most military policemen also wear a blue and red aiguillette, which has two forms - vertical (for law enforcement, investigations, etc.) and horizontal lines (for the prison service sector). Some wear a green aiguillette (indicates a commander, also formerly used by the prison sector). The aiguillette is worn over the left shoulder, and attached to the left shirt pocket.
