Military Police Training
Co-location allows the services to exploit opportunities for common training in policing practice and the application of both civil and military law, with all three service discipline systems being underpinned by the Armed Forces Act. Trainees are taught how to apply these principles within their jurisdiction in the UK and overseas in fixed military establishments and on operations. Common elements of military application are complemented by single service elements, allowing the individual to develop within their own service. examples of these include the use of personal weapons and military driving, handling of foreign nationals and Lines of Communication Policing, as well as the protection of logistic routes.
Courses for officer candidates cover both policing and the management of policing within their service and joint environments. Service Policemen return to the college for promotion courses required by their respective services and for specialisation training, allowing a focus on a particular aspect of investigation.

Famous quotes containing the words military, police and/or training:
“My faith is the grand drama of my life. I’m a believer, so I sing words of God to those who have no faith. I give bird songs to those who dwell in cities and have never heard them, make rhythms for those who know only military marches or jazz, and paint colours for those who see none.”
—Olivier Messiaen (1908–1992)
“I guess a career in the police didn’t really prepare you for this, did it?”
—Bob Hunt (b. 1951)
“I am not a suffragist, nor do I believe in “careers” for women, especially a “career” in factory and mill where most working women have their “careers.” A great responsibility rests upon woman—the training of children. This is her most beautiful task.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
