Navy's military police are equipped to handle any situation.

all around the world. Train to become a K9 dog handler and even
protect and escort shipboard weapons in the armory. The call to

Responsibilities
The law enforcement and security community provides a wide range of
critical services to every part of the Navy. As a Master-at-Arms
you may:
Work Environment
As an Enlisted Sailor working in law enforcement, you will have the
chance to work in a number of environments. Though sometimes you
may work behind a desk, you will often be out interacting with the
community in a law enforcement capacity. You can expect to work at
shore stations in the United States and overseas, aboard ships or
as part of a maritime security squadron. In short, your assignments
could take you anywhere in the world.
Training & Advancement
Upon completion of initial Recruit Training (known as Boot Camp),
those pursuing a Law Enforcement & Security role will report to San
Antonio, TX, where they will receive formal Navy technical training
at "A" School for about 9 weeks. Here, they will learn
antiterrorism techniques, armed sentry/post standing techniques,
crime prevention, military and civil law, communications, first
aid, firearms deployment and physical restraint techniques.
Promotion opportunities are regularly available but competitive and
based on performance.
Post-Service Opportunities
It's also important to note that specialized training received and
work experience gained in the course of service can lead to
valuable credentialing and occupational opportunities in related
fields in the civilian sector.
Education Opportunities
Beyond offering access to professional credentials and
certifications, Navy technical and operational training in the
field of Law Enforcement & Security can translate to credit hours
toward a bachelor's or associate degree through the American
Council on Education .
You may also continue your education through undergraduate degree
opportunities like the Navy College Program and Tuition Assistance
and the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
Qualifications & Requirements
A high-school diploma or equivalent is required to become an
Enlisted Sailor in law enforcement and security. Those seeking a
Master-at-Arms position should be people-oriented, dedicated,
resourceful and versatile. They should also possess physical
strength, manual dexterity and be competent with tools and
equipment. Citizenship requirements may vary.
General qualifications may vary depending upon whether you're
currently serving , whether you've served before or whether you've
never served before .
Part-Time Opportunities
Serving part-time as a Navy Reserve Sailor, your duties will be
carried out during your scheduled drilling and training periods.
During monthly drilling, Masters-at-Arms in the Navy Reserve
typically work at a location close to their homes.
For annual training, Masters-at-Arms may serve anywhere in the
world-on ships or at bases and installations. Take a moment to
learn more about the general roles and responsibilities of Navy
Reserve Sailors .
Most of what you do in the Navy Reserve is considered training. The
basic Navy Reserve commitment involves training a minimum of one
weekend a month (referred to as drilling) and two weeks a year
(referred to as Annual Training) - or the equivalent of that.
Masters-at-Arms in the Navy Reserve serve in an Enlisted role.
Before receiving the ongoing professional training that comes with
the job, initial training requirements must be met.
For current or former military Enlisted servicemembers: prior
experience satisfies the initial Recruit Training requirement - so
you will not need to go through Boot Camp again.
For those without prior military experience: you will need to meet
the initial Recruit Training requirement by attending Boot Camp in
Great Lakes, IL. This training course will prepare you for service
in the Navy Reserve and count as your first Annual Training.
