The Military Police Brigade, commonly known as the Military Police or the MP for short, is a branch of the Eldian military and major antagonists in the manga/anime series Attack on Titan.
It is the most prestigious military division in the civilization of the Walls and its primary police force. This is due to their work allowing them to avoid contact with the Titans, abundant resources, and higher authority over other military branches. It is also an easy way for poorer citizens from Wall Maria and Wall Rose to gain a citizenship within Wall Sina and the Interior, without having to resort to being hired as servants or bribery. However, in reality it is the most corrupted military branch due to a lack of oversight compared to the other branches of the military.
To immediately join as young recruits only the top ten alumni from trainee squads can apply for the Military Police Brigade, even though there are other illicit ways to get in. Any soldier who was never part of the top 10 Trainees has to prove their worth to the King by serving successfully within the Garrison for years, and only then they gain the right to be transferred into the MP whenever they wish for it, such as Garrison officers or in general soldiers who provided great services to the population. Many graduates of the Training Corps who failed to become the top 10 of their class join the Garrison in hopes to earn a chance to be transferred into the MP after working hard for years. Nile Dok is the commander of the Military Police.
History[]
Not only the MP Brigade maintain order, they serve as the king's guard. Since they do not normally come in contact with Titans, they must have special permission to use vertical maneuvering equipment and usually carry firearms such as rifles instead. They are also in charge of tax collection and land distribution. They usually abuse these duties to exploit resources and food from civilians. All duties have been abused by the Military Police. This is a lazy, corrupt system that benefits from the powers granted to it. They are inexperienced since they usually don't engage in battle with the Titans. The senior officers spend all their time gambling and drinking while leaving recruits to do all the work. They also pilfer taxes and misappropriate land. The MP also supervise the Training Corps, monitor the Garrison, and direct fire-fighting operations. They are also responsible for the arrest and detainment political criminals and major offenders. The Military Police Brigade is given the priority during investigations that involve nobility or the royal Reiss family.
The First Interior Squad, commonly known as the Interior Police, is introduced in the aftermath of the traitors' being exposed, torturing and murdering Pastor Nick. Their organization is shrouded in mystery, and they actively seek out both Historia Reiss and Eren Yeager for unknown purposes. With the Titan Shifters uncovered and driven out, this group served as antagonists in the Uprising Arc. The First Interior Squad operates completely separate from the main group, with their own command structure and duties. Little is known about them, with even Nile Dok admitting to knowing little about them. They are involved in numerous conspiracies that supposedly maintain order within the Walls, and stated to be completely above the law. They are rarely seen outside the Capitol.
The Anti-Personnel Vertical Maneuvering Equipment Squad is an elite squad of the Military Police Brigade led by Kenny Ackerman. It was created 2 years after the fall of Wall Maria. Its members are very capable soldiers from the Interior Squad and use Anti-personnel vertical maneuvering equipment. While the official purpose of the creation of the squad is to thwart the Survey Corps, all the soldiers under Kenny's command knew their chief's real goal, which was to become acquire the Power of the Titans and gain the Coordinate. Their purpose was to obtain godlike power.
