Military Police Officer/Jobs Opening to Women

1)"Here is an Military (Army) Police Officer meeting with other local police officers."



My 20% blog post this week will be about Army Police Officers. Since I want to be an Army Officer and Major in Criminal Justice as my degree. As seen on my 20% project in my power point. Also Arabic is going to be my Minor so I can have other job opportunities like being an Civil Affairs Officer. There are many things to do in the Army as well as other branches but like I said, the college I want to attend only offer Army ROTC.

The nice thing about this position about being a Military Police Officer is that it is open to women. Jobs like that are sometimes closed to women because of combat reasons. There are, however more jobs opening up to women. In an article posted in U.S. Military.com stating that the,

"The U.S. military will open on May 11 more than 6,200 new jobs to women in the Army and Marine Corps, but none of those positions include the frontline combat positions that have garnered the most attention since the Pentagon eliminated gender barriers in January."


It also explains in there how,

"The Marine Corps will also consider female service members for the position of ground intelligence officer."

Military Police do things such as preventing crime from happening, respond appropriately to emergencies, and also help with control traffic. These men and women are usually enlisted and are either Active Duty or Army Reserve. Military Police Officers are men and women who have some sort of degree and are over the enlisted. They over see positions as well as lead in other jobs as a leader. Other duties would be things such as:

• Interviewing witnesses in investigations
• Crime scene security as well as processing 
• Arrest and charge criminal suspects 
• Military area patriols
