​​The 27th Brigade Provost Detachment was formed in Hanover, West Germany.  This unit would later be renamed No. 4 Provost Platoon in November 1958.  In 1968, the unit would undergo a 3rd name change – 4 MP Platoon and would remain in place until it was stood down in 1992 with the withdrawal of Canadian Forces from Europe.
