Before the implementation of the tiered police certification system, the standard for police training and certification was inconsistent and dependent on the SME and instructor populations of the military police companies at any given time. The goal of the tier system is to standardize training and provide DES with better-trained military police Soldiers/DACPs who understand law enforcement concepts and conduct themselves as police officers on patrol. Great strides have been made by focusing the training on law enforcement tasks identified as lacking across the formation by the units and DES senior leadership. Moving forward, the battalion and DES continue to resource certified instructor schools, increase military police Soldier/DACP proficiency, and ensure the continuity of institutional knowledge with the goal of ever improving police training and certifications at Fort Polk and across the Military Police Corps.
