MP MPO statistic?

[bdb1231]

What is the ratio of # of MPO to MP?
Is it rare for someone to be selected for MPO without a criminology degree. For example econ, psycho, sociology, political science degree, etc....?
What percentage of MP and MPO are currently deployed?

From memory:

About 200 MPO to 1200 MP (Reg Force only, not a clue what the Reserves are currently parading).  If you want hard numbers, I'll dig them up tomorrow.
Degree:  For DEO I would venture it's almost unheard of to not have a Criminology degree.
Deployed:  Probably around 2%, down from around 8-10% at the height of Afghanistan.

From recruiting

Military Police members must be courageous, dedicated, patient, and tactful. They must have good reasoning abilities, good powers of observation, a memory for detail, initiative, physical and mental stamina, and a genuine interest in working with and helping all members of the community. They must also communicate effectively, both orally and in writing.

To be eligible for a position as a Commissioned Military Police Officer, candidates must have an undergraduate degree from a recognised university, preferably in a criminal justice-related field. Commissioned Officer entry plans may differ depending on qualifications.

Candidates must also meet CF medical standards and successfully complete a selection process consisting of interviews and a wide range of examinations.

Following the initial screening, all eligible candidates will attend a career orientation and undergo aptitude assessment at a Military Police Assessment Centre (MPAC), to ensure that they have a realistic view of the Military Police occupation and the potential to succeed.

Direct Entry Officer (DEO) – To qualify for direct entry as a Military Police Officer, candidates should already possess a university undergraduate degree in a related discipline.

Note that it does not specify a degree but it should be in a related strain.

Once again, that did not answer my question.  You obviously wasted your time replying to that where as you could have just provided the answer instead of being a smart a**.

But now I have found the answer to my question...There must be a lot of time off if people like you can sit here and waste your time on an irrelevant reply to a simple, honest question.

I guess it's different when you're not asking the questions.    :

Way to stay on topic.  You must be an officer.

Way to try to shift the blame for going off topic, you must be a politician  ;D
