Step 1
All Army Reserve training is designed to fit in around your life and day job. You start with 12 weeks’ officer training at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst.

Step 2
You progress on to the Military Police Officers’ course at the Defence School of Policing and Guarding, Southwick Park, Hampshire. During the two-week course you learn about police duties, investigations, handling evidence, military law and other aspects of policing. You’ll then be ready for your first posting as a RMP Platoon Commander. Further training in Close Protection and Serious Crime Investigation is available too.

Step 3

All Officers have the opportunity to gain civilian qualifications as a result of their training in the RMP. You can get accreditation by doing the Serious Crime Investigation Course and the Close Protection Course.

You'll get paid a day rate according to your rank, starting from £83.31 per day once you have passed Army Officer Selection and rising to £99.60 per day once you've commissioned as a Second Lieutenant. This includes being paid for weekly drill nights. Plus, if you complete all of your annual training, you're entitled to a tax-free lump sum called a bounty.
