Military police of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Documents and requirements required for military police service Military Police of the Western Military District

In the Russian Federation, as in other countries, there is a special military police. Its units are designed to protect conscripts and contract servicemen, as well as all civilians who are on military training. The military police is a component and subdivision of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and performs the tasks and functions of protecting any legal relations in the defense sphere. Its tasks include the protection and control over the observance of the law in military units, control over military discipline, as well as law enforcement at all facilities of the Armed Forces.

Parts military police completed career officers having a higher legal education, as well as contractors. It is still possible to get into the ranks of the military police, even without having an urgent or contract service in the army. However, this is quite difficult to do, since the military police is an elite unit of the RF Armed Forces. Therefore, a competition is usually announced for the selection of candidates for service in the military police. You can learn about it from the messages on the website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, in the military commissariats at the place of residence, as well as in the regional departments of the military police of the Russian Federation itself.

Who can become a military police officer?

Recruitment of citizens into the ranks of the military police carried out exclusively on the positions of privates and sergeants. At the same time, the ranks received during the passage of military and contract service in ordinary military units are retained. To get into the ranks of the military police, a citizen must necessarily meet a number of requirements, both general for contract service and specific for the military police:

  • Be a citizen of the Russian Federation between the ages of 19 and 35;
  • Have a height of at least 175 centimeters;
  • Do not have citizenship of foreign states;
  • have no medical restrictions and contraindications to military service;
  • not be convicted in the past and in the present not act as an accused or suspect in criminal cases;
  • not be a close relative of active members of the military police, if in the future his direct subordination to these persons is possible;
  • have completed secondary education;
  • pass all the necessary standards for physical fitness with a minimum mark - "good";
  • pass tests for professional suitability with a result - 1 or 2 category.

In addition, it is desirable for a candidate for military police service to have an adult rank in any sport .

If the candidate meets all the criteria and has passed the necessary tests, then he will have a final interview with the commandant of the military police. After passing which the new employee will be offered the title and position. They will, first of all, depend on how well he is physically prepared, educated, and also on whether such an employee has a military rank and any achievements.

As mentioned above, the absence of service in the army is not an obstacle to entering the military police. However, its absence will make the selection more difficult. A legal education will become a clear trump card for passing the competition, and other things being equal and physical data, preference will be given to the candidate who has already been in the army.

On March 25, 2015, Vladimir Putin approved the Charter of the Military Police of the RF Armed Forces. One of the main functions of the military police will be to ensure military discipline in the garrisons.

    Recruitment to the military police

    Main qualification requirements for candidates:

    Fitness for military service;

    Age from 19 to 35 years;

    Education not lower than secondary;

    Ability to work in multitasking mode;

    Stress tolerance;

    Learnability;

    Passing standards in accordance with the requirements of the Manual on Physical Training - NPF-2009;

    Restrictions in the selection of candidates for military service under the contract.

    A citizen of the Russian Federation cannot be appointed to a position in the military police if he:

    Is a suspect or accused in a criminal case;

    Convicted for a crime by a court verdict that has entered into legal force, and also has an unexpunged or outstanding conviction;

    Submitted forged documents or knowingly false information when entering the service;

    The main condition for working in the military police is the state of health. And if the candidate has a military ID with a mark of uselessness due to health problems, in this case the refusal is obvious. But you can insist on passing the military medical commission, which is very serious (on a par with selection at a military school).

    Under equal conditions between the two candidates, preference will be given to a man who has already completed military service. A military policeman may well become a person with excellent physical training, skills, good health and legal education, which was not yet on military service. That is why the selection for positions in the military police is most often carried out among candidates who have already served. At present, due to the outflow of military police personnel, recruitment for contract service in military commandant's offices has been simplified and is no different from recruitment for contract service in ordinary military units.

Military Police in Syria

Experts note great value Russian military police in maintaining stability in the area liberated from terrorists.

Russian "red berets" are recommended to counter the emerging organized criminal gangs, in the liberated territory, which does not yet have law enforcement agencies. The military police are also involved in escorting humanitarian convoys.

In Syria, the Russian "red berets" perform both their usual duties of guarding bases and monitoring the behavior of military personnel, and unusual for them. The "Red Berets" carry out operations where other combat units cannot be involved, including for political reasons, and essentially perform the role of peacekeepers.

How many Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation

In addition to peacekeeping, military police also have to perform combat functions. For example, a platoon of "red berets", blocked by superior enemy forces, repelled attacks for several hours without a single loss of their fighters.

Good Cop - Military Cop

The military police is a rather young structure and is still unusual for our army. How it works, what has already been done and what remains to be done, "MK" learned directly from the head of the Main Directorate of the Military Police of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Major General Igor SIDORKEVICH.

- Igor Mikhailovich, two years have passed since the adoption of the federal law on the activities of the military police of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. What has been done during this time?

Military police - really new structure in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Let me remind you that it is designed to protect the life, health, rights and freedoms of servicemen, ensure law and order, military discipline, road safety, guard facilities of the Armed Forces in the Armed Forces, and also, within its competence, to counter crime.

The formation of the military police was carried out on the basis of the divisions of the commandant's service and the military automobile inspection. Recently, a regulatory framework has been developed that regulates the activities of the military police.

First of all, changes were made to the federal law“On Defense”, the Penal Code of the Russian Federation, the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Code of the Russian Federation on administrative offenses, the Federal Law "On the Status of Servicemen" and a number of other laws.

- What new tasks are assigned to the military police?

On March 25, 2015, the President of the Russian Federation signed Decree No. 161, which approved the charter of the military police, which defines new tasks assigned to the military police. These include: exercising the powers of the body of inquiry in the Armed Forces; protection and escort of military personnel, including military personnel of other troops and military formations; ensuring the protection of objects of the Armed Forces, office premises of the military prosecutor's office and military investigating authorities; ensuring, within its competence, state protection of victims, witnesses and other participants in criminal proceedings from among the military.

One of the tasks that the military police solves is counteracting the spread of drugs. With whom is cooperation organized in this matter?

Countering the spread of drugs and preventing their illegal consumption in the Armed Forces in accordance with the charter of the military police is one of the main functions of the military police.

We must put up a reliable barrier to the penetration of narcotic drugs into military units. To solve this problem, we have signed a protocol on interaction between the Federal Drug Control Service and the Russian Ministry of Defense on the issues of holding joint events in the areas of deployment of military units and organizations of the Armed Forces.

And in June last year, a decision was made to form the structure of the military police bodies responsible for combating drug trafficking at the central, regional and territorial levels.

The military police, in cooperation with the Federal Drug Control Service of Russia, are practicing practical measures to counter illegal drug trafficking and consumption within the framework of combined arms exercises, such as the Center-2015 maneuvers. Operational and preventive operations are carried out jointly with the Federal Drug Control Service of Russia.

Also, in military units and organizations, preventive measures are taken to form negative attitude military personnel to drug use.

The military police are entrusted with a number of new tasks that require qualified training. How are specialists trained to perform these tasks?

Firstly, for military service under a contract in the military police, mainly persons with a special or higher education. Many military personnel are trained in higher educational institutions in the legal specialty without interruption from military service.

Secondly, since June 1, 2015, on the basis of the Military University of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, retraining and advanced training courses for candidates for appointment to the positions of military police interrogators have been organized.

Thirdly, from October 1, 2015, in the three district training centers organized retraining of military police specialists: senior inspectors and inspectors of the military police.

Retraining is carried out on the basis of a special one-month program, which provides training in the following areas: the use of special means by the military police; organization of patrols in garrisons; the procedure for conducting preventive checks in military units; work to ensure law and order in military units; order of execution of punishments in relation to military personnel.

It is planned that within the next year all members of the military police will undergo this training.


- What is the structure of the military police today, will there be changes in it in connection with new tasks?

At present, the structure of the military police consists of a central body of the military police - the Main Directorate of the Military Police, regional bodies of the military police - in each military district and in the Northern Fleet, as well as territorial bodies of the military police - commandant's offices and military automobile inspections.

The General Staff of the RF Armed Forces is developing a promising structure of the military police until 2020.

- Is the equipment of the military police different from the equipment of other military personnel?

Let's just say that the military police, in addition to personal military weapons, like the rest of the military, are armed special means. These include handcuffs, rubber batons, traumatic weapon, electroshock devices, as well as individual means of photo and video recording are included in the set of standard equipment.

The distinctive elements of the military police uniform are the red beret, armband and military police badge. Each military police officer also has a service certificate of the established form.

In addition, a draft resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation on the application of a special color and graphic coloring of operational military police vehicles and the installation of special light and sound devices on it is currently being coordinated.

- Despite the short period of activity of the military police, are there any results of its work?

Of course have. Over the past two years, military police units have ensured law and order, traffic safety and protection of special events with the participation of troops, such as: the International Military-Technical Forum, Victory parades on Red Square and in other Russian cities, tank biathlon in 2014 and 2015, International Army Games-2015.

The military police participate in military exercises at all levels, conducted as part of the training of the Armed Forces, and starting from 2013, the plans for conducting strategic exercises include a separate element of the fulfillment of tasks by the military police together with the Federal Drug Control Service of Russia to block the channels of penetration of narcotic drugs into the territory of military units.

In addition, despite the fact that the military police are primarily intended to protect the life and health of military personnel, the military police also come to the aid of the civilian population of our country.

Repeatedly military policemen, risking life and health, provided assistance to civilians.

So, on August 25, 2015, in the village of Urman of the Republic of Bashkortostan, while on duty, a resident of this village turned to a military police patrol for help in rescuing three employees of the local housing department, who, while working in a sewer manhole, received severe poisoning and were in an unconscious state.

The soldiers of the military police patrol who arrived at the scene, despite the risk, immediately began to remove the victims from manhole and providing them with the first medical care. Thanks to the right and decisive action military policemen managed to save the lives of two people.

In Yekaterinburg, on September 4, 2015, a military police officer red-handedly caught a robber who stole her entire pension from an elderly woman. A military policeman, passing by one of the houses, heard a woman's cry for help from the entrance and saw through open door a pensioner lying on the floor and a man running away. He immediately rushed after the robber and knocked him down, after which he handed him over to the police. The stolen pension was returned to the woman.

This list can be continued, but I want to note once again that the military police officer is always ready to help both military personnel and civilians.

This year, military police units will also have to take an active part in the events held by the Russian Ministry of Defense: numerous exercises, including the Kavkaz-2016 command-strategic exercise, the Victory Military Parade, the International Military-Technical Forum and even larger ones than in last year, International Army Games-2016.

In addition, it is no secret that today the military police detachment is successfully solving the tasks of ensuring the protection of facilities and road safety on the territory of the Khmeimim military airbase in the Syrian Arab Republic.
