​En septembre 1970, un article détaillé est publié dans Sentinelle (la revue des Forces canadiennes) expliquant le rôle des chiens sentinelles aux bases des Forces canadiennes Lahr et Baden-Soellingen ​en Allemagne.

​Pour en savoir plus sur le programme de chiens sentinelles et voir des photographies d'époque supplémentaires, lisez l'article complet de Sentinelle (en français) ici. 

In September 1970, an article was published in Sentinel (the magazine of the Canadian Forces) explaining the role of sentry dog teams at Canadian Forces Bases ​Lahr and Baden-Soellingen in Germany.

The sentry dog program began in 1963 as an Air Force Police program, and transitioned to the Military Police upon the unification o Canadian Armed Forces.

To learn more about the sentry dog program and view additional photographs, read the complete Sentinel article (in English) here.

​19 August 2022 marks the 80th anniversary of Operational Jubilee—the ill-fated raid on Dieppe. While not often mentioned in the various written histories chronicling this operation, members of the Canadian Provost Corps (CProC) were assigned an important role. To learn more about the 41 men from No. 2 Provost Company who were 'baptized by fire' on that fateful day, and to view additional period photos, read the full article here.

The CMPA is pleased to announce the unveiling of a new MP-themed permanent exhibit at the National Air Force Museum of Canada (NAFMC), 8 Wing/CFB Trenton, on Wednesday 29 June 2022. The exhibit, titled Sentry Dogs: Securing Canada’s Nuclear Air Strike Force, explores the sentry dog program operated by the Air Force Police and Military Police in West Germany, from 1963 to 1972, during the Cold War. This program was a critical component of the overall nuclear weapon security scheme that was implemented while the Canadian air force held a nuclear air strike role in support of NATO.

The exhibit also contains two display cases with artifacts related to the handlers and their sentry dogs, as well as three information boards explaining the program and displaying various related photographs.

The CMPA is continuing to work with the NAFMC to implement phase 2 of the exhibit, a multimedia touch-screen kiosk that will allow museum visitors to explore additional photos, videos and news clippings about the sentry dog program. The kiosk will also provide information about the other two nuclear weapon systems protected by Canada's Air Force Police and Military Police during the Cold War.

Additional coverage of the museum exhibit opening can be found in the following online news article at inquinte.ca.

To learn more about the anniversary date, see Looking Back: The Military Police Branch Birthdate, 15 June 1940.

​February is Black History Month in Canada. To commemorate this occasion it is appropriate to look back on some early Black military police trailblazers. Recent research has identified two men of colour who served in military policing roles in Canada during the First World War period, and another who provided provost support during combat operations overseas. Read more about these pioneers and their military service to Canada here.

​​The motorcycle has a long and storied history with Canada's military police. While motorcycles are no longer used by the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), they were an important means of transportation for members of the Canadian Provost Corps for almost three decades and continued be used by some CAF military police units, albeit in much smaller numbers, until the 1990s. Learn more about the motorcycles used by Canada's military police and view additional photos here.

The Special Investigation Unit (SIU) was a specialized military police unit that provided the Canadian Forces with counter-intelligence and criminal investigation services from April 1, 1966 to April 1, 1998. The SIU was modeled on the former Royal Canadian Air Force unit of the same name. After 32 years of proud and distinguished service around the world, the Canadian Forces' SIU was disbanded on the basis of  recommendations made in the Dickson Report to separate the security and criminal investigation functions. The SIU was replaced by two new units:

• the Canadian Forces National Counter-Intelligence Unit (CFNIS), reporting to the Chief of Defense Intelligence; and

• the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service (CFNIS), reporting to the Canadian Forces Provost Marshal.

In 1990, a detailed article was published in Sentinelle (the Canadian Forces' French-language magazine) explaining the role and operation of the SIU. This article, which provides a fascinating account of this historic military police unit, is reprinted in its entirety here. 

​[Note: This article was never published in the English-language Sentinel magazine. If the CMPA is able to obtain permission from the copyright holder (DND/CAF), a translated version of the article may be posted in the future]

​Each year, the CMPA awards two $1,000 scholarship to members in good standing whose family members (spouse or children) are pursuing their first year of full or part time post-secondary education. One scholarship will be presented for entry into a university program, and one for entry into a college program.

The CMPA is proud to announce the launch of an on-line memorial roll to commemorate those members of Canada’s Military Police who died while serving their country as well as those whose death after returning to civilian life was related to their military service.

The roll was initiated by the students of Military Police Officer Course 2001 (Battista Platoon) in February 2020 as a class project. The CMPA is pleased to host this Military Police Memorial Roll online and will add to it the names of other fallen members who are found to meet the criteria for inclusion (available to view here).

For the purposes of this this roll, the term Military Police includes everyone who served with a service police organization in any of the pre-unification military services of Canada. This includes the Canadian Provost Corps, Naval Shore Patrol Service, RCN Regulating Branch, RCAF Police and Security Services, as well as various First World War military policing organizations. However, it does not include those who were employed only on regimental police-type duties. 

​The roll currently includes the names of 296 fallen members, 26 of whom died during the First World War period and another 165 who died during the Second World War period. In its current form, the MP Memorial Roll is the culmination of many hundreds of hours of research and validation against records from Veterans Affairs Canada, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, DND/Directorate of History & Heritage, military personnel files available from Library and Archives Canada, numerous newspapers and various genealogical research resources.  

Anyone with additional information that could add to the completeness or accuracy of this roll is encouraged to contact the CMPA Director of History and Heritage at cmpahistory@gmail.com. Because military personnel files for the post-war period are more heavily constrained by access to information and privacy legislation, we are particularly interested in adding details of Military Police who died in the service of their country from 1948 until the present. 

​The Military Police Memorial Roll can be accessed by selecting “Memorial Roll” in the menu bar or using the following direct link:  https://www.cmpa-apmc.org/memorial-roll.html.

As a tribute the provost sign painters, the Canadian Forces Military Police Academy (CFMPA) recently unveiled a new historical display titled "The Artist." Conceived and constructed by Sergeant Ian Beswick, with carpentry assistance from Sergeant Jodi Woolridge, this life-size display depicts a provost sign painter hard at work. 

In addition to his regular job as the NCO IC Standards/Development, Sergeant Beswick is the Academy's historian and coordinates its growing heritage collection. Based on a few wartime photos, Sergeant Beswick was able to recreate the look and atmosphere of a less glamourous, but nonetheless essential, aspect of wartime provost work. Careful inspection reveals period-correct signs, paint can labels based on actual wartime examples, and reproduction wooden crates featuring authentically-styled labels and stamps.  

Bravo Zulu to Sergeant Beswick and the other CFMPA staff members who helped make this new historical display a reality!

​Last month the submissions for the CMPA Annual Scholarships were reviewed with 2 winners being selected to receive a scholarship of $1000 from the Canadian Military Police Association.

The first recipient is Rohnan Frei. Rohnan is a Sir Wilfred Laurier Secondary School graduate and has enrolled in Ottawa University’s Political Science program. While attending Secondary School, Rohnan received numerous awards and was on the Honour roll each year. Rohnan was selected because of his exceptional academic record, his awards and finally, his involvement in the community. Upon completing his University course, Rohan aspires to become a Military Police Officer or seek a career in either foreign affairs or law enforcement.

​Le mois dernier, les candidatures aux bourses annuelles de l'APMC ont été examinées et 2 lauréats ont été sélectionnés pour recevoir une bourse de 1 000 $ de l'Association canadienne de la police militaire.

Le premier récipiendaire est Rohnan Frei. Rohnan est diplômé de l’école secondaire Sir Wilfred Laurier et est inscrit au programme de sciences politiques de l’Université d’Ottawa. Alors qu'il fréquentait l'école secondaire, Rohnan a reçu de nombreux prix et était inscrit sur le tableau d'honneur chaque année. Rohnan a été sélectionné pour son dossier académique exceptionnel, ses récompenses et enfin, son implication dans la communauté. À la fin de ses études universitaires, Rohan aspire à devenir officier de police militaire ou à faire carrière dans les affaires étrangères ou dans l'application de la loi.

​Upon completing his University course, Rohan aspires to become a Military Police Officer or seek a career in either foreign affairs or law enforcement.

​The second recipient is Alexa Thobo-Carlsen. Alexa is a graduate of École Secondaire Publique Marc-Garnean (Trenton, ON) and is now enrolled at Sheridan College (Oakville, ON) in a four-year Honours Bachelor of Film and Television program. While attending secondary school in French, she attained the highest average in various courses in both 9th and 10th grade, had the highest overall academic average in 11th grade, and won two achievement awards in her graduating year. Alexa volunteers both on and off the base, and she helped the CMPA by editing some historical Canadian Army videos which were subsequently used on our website in a “Looking Back” feature article. Alexa aspires to work in the film industry creating documentaries and historical fiction pieces.

​Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the CMPA will request some local dignitaries to present the recipients with the cheques and hopefully we will have pictures of these presentations.

​On behalf of LCol (Retd) Doug Boot and the members of the CMPA, congratulations to both recipients.

An initiative of Historica Canada, the Memory Project is a volunteer speakers bureau that arranges for past and present members of the Canadian Armed Forces to share their stories of military service. This year, the Memory Project is developing a video about Canada’s involvement in the Gulf War and is looking for photos to feature in the upcoming video. ​

For those who may not know CWO Smith, she is in the MP recruiting video below.

Sam was born in Winnipeg, MB on 14 November 1933 and gently passed away on 3 May 2020 with loved ones at his side. Predeceased by his mother (Sylvia), father (Alexander), brother (Robert), nephew (Rob) and mother of his children Joan Berry. Survived by his children David (Pam), Ken, Len and Denise, his former wife Jean Donnachie, his granddaughters Mikaela, Courtney, Samantha and Danika, and many cousins, nieces and nephews.

With his father serving overseas during the Second World War, he spent his childhood between Vancouver College and St. Louis College in Victoria. He and his brother Bob grew up fast becoming the men of the house. He kept in touch with his college chums throughout his life. His working career started as a logging surveyor on Vancouver Island and as a cook on a fishing boat. In 1952 he joined the RCAF and became a Military Policeman. He was initially employment on varied unit duties at Stations in Goose Bay, NL, Sea Island and Holberg, BC and Lahr, Germany.

On returning to Canada in 1959, he had a brief tours at St Jean, QC, and Aylmer and Camp Borden, ON. In 1964 he was posted to Comox, BC and during this period he also graduated from the Canadian Police College at the RCMP Depot Division in Regina, SK. He rose through the ranks holding many senior staff positions in LaMacaza, QC, Ottawa, ON, Winnipeg, MB and Trenton, ON.

He was promoted to Colonel in 1985 and appointed as the Director of Security and Security Branch Advisor. In 1986 the Directorate was elevated to a Division and he remained as the Director General of Security in Ottawa until his retirement in 1988. He was truly admired by his colleagues, many of whom became great friends.

During retirement he remained active on the executive of the Canadian Intelligence and Security Association as the Pacific Region Representative. He was also made an Honorary Member of the Canadian Provost Corp Association. Sam was a true family man and gentleman who loved and adored his family and friends. He had a quick dry humour that would leave you laughing until it hurt. He had a passion for Dixieland and Jazz and became President and lifetime member of Vancouver Dixie Land Jazz Society. He said it was the beat of the music that followed him.

No words can explain the depths of this man, he will be forever missed.

A celebration of life will follow at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation BC and/or the Cancer Society in memory of Alexander (Sam) Stevenson.

Online condolences for the family may be left at:

​​With the new coronavirus still wreaking havoc in Canada, there’s no clear answer on when students will return to classrooms.  Most Universities and Colleges are looking at having only on line courses this fall. Regardless where the students learn, there is still a need to pay for their education and the CMPA Scholarship Fund can help.

The CMPA’s Scholarship Fund reflects one of our main purposes:  to support and benefit its members.
 
Each year, the CMPA awards two $1,000 scholarship to members in good standing whose family members (spouse or children) are pursuing their first year of full or part time post-secondary education.
