2 Military Police Regiment (Canada)
Military Police Regiment (2 MPR) is a unit of the Canadian Forces. It is essentially the Army Military Police of Ontario (this does not include Canadian Forces Support Unit (Ottawa)). The unit was initially created in the summer of 2006. Since then, the unit was officially established with the creation of a Ministerial Organization Order (MOO) and a Canadian Forces Organization Order (CFOO) dated September 24, 2007. It is a "total force" unit of 2 Area Support Group (2 ASG). The term "total force" describes a unit which includes both Regular Force and Reserve Force members. 2 MPR is responsible for police, security and detention operations as well as field policing. The unit headquarters is located at The George Taylor Denison III Armoury, more commonly known as Denison Armoury, in Toronto, Ontario. Members of 2 MPU totals in excess of 300 personnel. 2 MPU is part of the Army. The Canadian Forces Military Police Branch is simply the technical net for the unit (as opposed to the chain of command through the Army). The unit is commanded by a Major as the Commanding Officer (CO) and the unit has a Master Warrant Officer who is the Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM). The CO of 2 MPR reports directly to the Commander of 2 ASG.
