Changes to the CMPA Membership by-law now make it easier to become and remain a member in good standing of the CMPA. ​​We have redefined and opened up the membership categories, eliminated the annual renewal/dues requirement for ordinary members and adopted a lifetime membership model instead. 

Please read By-Law 1 (Membership) for further details. In short, ordinary membership is open to anyone who is currently serving as a member of the CAF Military Police Branch (Regular or Reserve component), and anyone who previously served in this branch or any of its antecedents (i.e., CAF Security Branch, Canadian Provost Corps, Air Force Police, Naval Regulating Branch) and was honourably released from military service. Updated definitions for honourary and associate members can also be found in By-Law 1.

Anyone who previously received a CMPA departure gift/memento or Retired MP credentials will become a lifetime ordinary member upon application at no further cost. You may be requested to provide a photograph of your departure gift or retired credentials.

Any person who previously paid annual membership dues for at least five consecutive years may become a lifetime ordinary member upon application at no further cost. Please note that the Membership Director may require your assistance to determine when you paid.

​Any former ordinary member who either missed annual payments or paid their dues sporadically is considered to be delinquent in their dues (i.e., NOT in good standing). In order to become a lifetime ordinary member in good standing you must pay your delinquent annual dues up to a maximum of five years ($125). 

​Any eligible person who wishes to become an ordinary member for the first time can pay a one-time fee of $250 for lifetime membership. 

​New graduates of the MP QL3 and MPOC courses will receive a discount of $50 toward lifetime ordinary membership. This offer is valid for one year beginning on the course graduation date. Discount codes can be obtained from CFMPA course staff. CFMPA staff can request a discount code for an entire course by email to [email protected].

​On the rear of all Lifetime Membership cards is code to obtain a 15% discount on items purchased from the the MP Kit Shop.

Membership applications are available from the CMPA website (online form) and payments can be made online via the MP Kit Shop.  

Questions regarding membership may be emailed to [email protected]. 

​Note: Only CMPA members in good standing are eligible for a free retirement memento when they depart the CAF MP Branch (meant to be given at a Depart with Dignity Ceremony or similar even whenever possible). Members who re-enrol in the CAF and retire a second time from the MP Branch are not eligible for another free memento.

Securitas!
